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

Low-dose aspirin is no longer routinely recommended for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in older adults due to a lack of net benefit over bleeding risk. We hypothesized that genetic subgroups may experience differential harm or benefit from aspirin therapy. To investigate this, we screened 572 polygenic scores (PGSs) for modification of aspirin's effect on major bleeding and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in the Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) randomized, placebo-controlled trial of daily 100 mg aspirin. Participants were aged ≥70 years (≥65 years for US minorities) and free of cardiovascular disease, dementia, or physical disability at enrolment. Among participants with high-quality genotyping data (n = 13,571), PGS-aspirin interactions were tested using Cox proportional hazards models with Bonferroni correction for multiple testing. During a median follow-up of 4.6 years, 414 major bleeding events and 464 MACE occurred. A triglyceride-related PGS (PGS003144) significantly modified aspirin-associated bleeding (interaction P = 5.9 × 10
