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

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor has been the mainstay of therapy for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for more than two decades. Over this period, numerous trials have evaluated different antiplatelet strategies, initially focusing on more effective and prolonged regimens, and more recently on decreasing the intensity or duration of DAPT. Despite a wealth of accumulated evidence, the optimal antiplatelet strategy-including the ideal agent, combination, or treatment duration-remains a subject of active debate. This review summarizes the evolution of antiplatelet therapy, with particular emphasis on randomized controlled trials of DAPT in patients with ACS or CCS undergoing PCI.
