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

BackgroundThe optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains debated. While DAPT with aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor prevents ischemic events, it increases bleeding risk. This meta-analysis evaluates whether early aspirin discontinuation with P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy offers comparable efficacy and improved safety versus standard long-term DAPT.MethodsThis review, conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, searched PubMed, Cochrane Central and Clinicaltrials.gov up to September 2025 for RCTs comparing short-term DAPT (≤3 months) followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy with standard-duration DAPT (≥6-12 months). Outcomes included NACE, MACE, all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, stent thrombosis, and BARC 3 or 5 bleeding. Random-effects models were applied to estimate pooled risk ratios and 95% CIs.ResultsTen RCTs involving 35,277 patients were included. Compared with standard DAPT, short-term DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy significantly reduced NACE (RR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.71-0.90; p = 0.0002; I
