Aspirin vs. clopidogrel monotherapy beyond 1 month after complex percutaneous coronary intervention: a pre-specified subgroup analysis of the STOPDAPT-3 trial.
Trial report in European heart journal. Cardiovascular pharmacotherapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04609111 (ShorT and OPtimal Duration of Dual AntiPlatelet Therapy Study After Everolimus-eluting Cobalt-chromium Stent-3), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
aimsThere were no previous studies comparing aspirin vs. P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy following short dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND
resultsWe conducted a pre-specified subgroup analysis based on complex PCI in the 1-year results of the STOPDAPT-3 (ShorT and OPtimal Duration of Dual AntiPlatelet Therapy-3) trial, which randomly compared 1-month DAPT followed by aspirin monotherapy (aspirin group) with 1-month prasugrel monotherapy followed by clopidogrel monotherapy (clopidogrel group). The main analysis in the present study was the 30-day landmark analysis. The co-primary endpoints were cardiovascular events (a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, definite stent thrombosis, or stroke) and major bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 3 or 5). In the 30-day landmark analysis (N = 5833), there were 1415 patients (24.3%) who underwent complex PCI. There was a significant interaction between complex PCI and the effect of the aspirin group relative to the clopidogrel group for cardiovascular events (complex PCI: 3.3% vs. 5.2%, non-complex PCI: 4.3% vs. 3.6%, interaction P = 0.04) and net adverse clinical events (complex PCI: 4.8% vs. 7.2%, non-complex PCI: 5.3% vs. 4.4%, interaction P = 0.02), but not for bleeding events (complex PCI: 2.1% vs. 2.7%, non-complex PCI: 1.7% vs. 1.4%, interaction P = 0.35).
conclusionsThere was a significant interaction between complex PCI and the effect of aspirin monotherapy relative to clopidogrel monotherapy beyond 1 month and up to 1 year for cardiovascular events due to numerically lower risk of aspirin monotherapy in patients with complex PCI, while the effect of aspirin monotherapy relative to clopidogrel monotherapy was not different for bleeding regardless of complex PCI.
