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

backgroundPostoperative antiplatelet selection after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in adults aged ≥70 years requires balancing ischemic protection against bleeding risk.

methodsWe conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of adults aged ≥70 years who underwent isolated CABG for unstable angina between 2017 and 2021. The exposure was the initial discharge antiplatelet pathway: aspirin 100 mg once daily or indobufen 100 mg twice daily as the cyclooxygenase-inhibitor component, combined with a P2Y12 inhibitor during the first postoperative year and followed by the same cyclooxygenase inhibitor during the second year. Propensity scores were estimated using multivariable logistic regression with 16 prespecified baseline covariates, and stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was applied. The primary analyses used IPTW-weighted Cox models.

resultsAmong 336 screened patients, 79 were included in the final analytic cohort (aspirin-based pathway,

conclusionsIn this real-world cohort of older patients undergoing CABG for unstable angina, an initial indobufen-based discharge pathway was not statistically significantly associated with 24-month MACCE, BARC grade ≥2 bleeding, or NACE compared with an aspirin-based pathway after stabilized IPTW. These findings add exploratory CABG-specific data on indobufen in older patients and should be confirmed in larger prospective studies.
