Supporting appropriate use of extended dual antiplatelet therapy post-myocardial infarction based on an innovative 12-month ticagrelor virtual service.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: Extended dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with ticagrelor and aspirin is recommended in selected cases after myocardial infarction (MI) but not widely deployed in practice. This study assessed an innovative, cardiology pharmacist-led virtual service for determining eligibility for extended DAPT among patients completing 12 months of initial DAPT in primary care following MI. Methods: Within this model, potentially eligible individuals are reviewed virtually by a cardiology pharmacist for suitability for extended DAPT with reduced-dose ticagrelor [60 mg twice daily (BD)] for up to 3 years. Eligibility is guided by the PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial criteria (aged ≥50 years and having ≥1 high-risk feature for further ischaemic events). This is balanced against potential ineligibility driven primarily by bleeding risk, assessed using PRECISE-DAPT score. The final recommendation is sent to primary care to action. The present work is a retrospective evaluation of patients referred to the service between July 2018 and December 2021. Results: A total of 200 patients were included [ Conclusions: This virtual clinic played a key role in medicines optimisation, enabling appropriate patients to benefit from extended DAPT while offsetting bleeding risk. The model could be adapted locally for use elsewhere.
