Dual pathway inhibition in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) in clinical practice in Germany: results from the German CAD subgroup of the XATOA Registry.
Article in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimsTo determine characteristics and clinical outcomes of German patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) with or without peripheral artery disease (PAD) who initiated dual pathway inhibition (DPI) using rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily plus aspirin 100 mg once daily in clinical practice in Germany and to compare those with the results for CAD patients of the COMPASS trial. METHODS AND
resultsXATOA was an international prospective registry with a mean follow-up period of 15 months. There were 1641 German CAD patients included, of which 747 patients (45.5%) had CAD only and 894 patients (54.5%) had both CAD and PAD. Baseline characteristics (age, sex, medical history, prior medications) were similar between the subgroups of German CAD patients and comparable to CAD patients of COMPASS. The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was comparable between CAD patient subgroups of XATOA Germany (only CAD patients: 3.7%, CAD + PAD patients: 3.9%) and was similar to the incidence for CAD patients overall in XATOA and in COMPASS (All CAD patients XATOA: 3.8% vs. 4.2% COMPASS CAD). Incidence for major bleeding was markedly lower in CAD patients of XATOA Germany compared to COMPASS CAD patients (All CAD patients XATOA: 1.1% vs. 3.2% in COMPASS CAD).
conclusionIn this real world experience among German patients with CAD enrolled in XATOA, DPI with rivaroxaban and aspirin was associated with low incidence of MACE and major bleeding.
