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: Because of the variability in patient responses to clopidogrel and to reduce the risk of thromboembolic complications, adjusting the antiplatelet regimen based on platelet function testing has become a widespread practice in neurointervention. We aimed to explore current patterns related to this practice. Methods: We conducted a survey targeting neurointerventionalists, comprising multiple-choice questions and opportunities for free-text responses when necessary. The survey was distributed via a professional society distribution list (the Results: A total of 133 neurointerventionalists, representing 79 institutions within 27 countries, responded to the survey. A total of 62% of respondents tested for clopidogrel resistance before any neurovascular stent placements. A total of 80% used VerifyNow point-of-care P2Y12 assay; other assays included multiplate analyzer, platelet function analyzer, and CYP2C19 genotype assay. Respondents reported 25 different therapeutic thresholds, with the P2Y12 reaction unit range between 60 and 180 most commonly used (16.4%). A total of 61% reported they would switch to ticagrelor in the case of persistent resistance. On the other hand, when patients are supratherapeutic, 48% did not make any changes, whereas 42% reduced clopidogrel dose. Finally, 93% opined that a well-established protocol for management of clopidogrel resistance was needed. Conclusions: Neurointerventional practice patterns around clopidogrel resistance remain heterogeneous. Our results underscore the need for evidence-based guidance on the management of clopidogrel resistance in neurointervention.
