1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesTicagrelor monotherapy after short-term dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has not been established in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This study evaluated the effects of ticagrelor monotherapy after 3-month of DAPT on renal function in acute coronary syndrome patients.

methodsFrom the TICO trial, the primary outcome was a composite of net adverse clinical events (NACEs), defined as a composite of major bleeding and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs). The secondary outcomes were thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) major or minor bleeding and MACCE.

resultsAmong patients without CKD (n=2,436), ticagrelor monotherapy after 3 months of DAPT had a lower rate of NACE (hazard ratio [HR], 0.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.21-0.78; p=0.007) and TIMI bleeding (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.19-0.81; p=0.011) than those of ticagrelor-based 12-month DAPT. Among CKD patients receiving ticagrelor monotherapy, lower risk of NACE (HR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.20-1.02; p=0.055) and bleeding (HR, 0.20; 95% CI, 0.06-0.68; p=0.009) were observed. Otherwise, ticagrelor monotherapy was not significantly associated with an increased MACCE risk in those without CKD (HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.30-1.27; p=0.192) or with CKD (HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.21-1.48; p=0.237), versus 12-month DAPT.

conclusionsRegardless of renal function, ticagrelor monotherapy after 3 months of DAPT resulted in a reduced risk of not only NACE but also major or minor bleeding at 1 year compared with ticagrelor-based 12-month DAPT. Irrespective of renal function status, however, the MACCE risk was not significantly different between the two strategies.
