Low-Dose Rivaroxaban vs. Aspirin in Addition to Clopidogrel After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Coronary Atherosclerotic Heart Disease Patients with Gastrointestinal Disease.

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
purposeDual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is the cornerstone for patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) while increasing the risk of bleeding, particularly when combined with gastrointestinal disease (GID). Rivaroxaban 10 mg once daily is widely used in Asia. This study compared the effects of low-dose rivaroxaban (10 mg daily) plus clopidogrel vs. DAPT in CHD patients with GID undergoing PCI.
methodsIn this prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial, eligible CHD patients with GID undergoing PCI were randomized (1:1) to either the dual pathway inhibition (DPI) group (rivaroxaban 10 mg plus clopidogrel 75 mg daily) or the DAPT group (aspirin 100 mg plus clopidogrel 75 mg daily). The primary outcome was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 2-5 bleeding. The secondary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events (MACCE), which included cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization, all-cause death, stent thrombosis, and stroke during the 6-month follow-up.
resultsA total of 1042 patients were enrolled and analyzed (DPI, 522; DAPT, 520). Low-dose rivaroxaban (10 mg daily) plus clopidogrel was non-inferior to DAPT in BARC type 2-5 bleeding [8 (1.5%) vs. 6 (1.2%), absolute risk difference 0.38%, 95% confidence interval (CI) (- 1.02-1.78), p < 0.0001 for non-inferiority]. Abdominal pain was significantly lower in the DPI group (p = 0.009). Other abdominal discomforts, gastrointestinal bleeding, or MACCE were similar.
conclusionsIn CHD patients with GID undergoing PCI, low-dose rivaroxaban (10 mg daily) plus clopidogrel was non-inferior to DAPT.
