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

Aspirin may be considered for primary prevention in non-elderly patients with high cardiovascular risk. However, contemporary management aimed at aggressive cardiovascular risk factor control may alter benefit-risk ratio of aspirin. Therefore, we aimed to examine the effect of aspirin for primary prevention on the long-term MACEs in a large cohort registry. Cohort Of patients with high Risk for cardiovascular Events (CORE-Thailand) registry is a prospective, multicenter, observational, longitudinal study of Thai patients with high atherosclerotic risk. Patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases were excluded. Among 4259 patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors, 1945 (45.7%) patients used aspirin. After propensity score matching, there were 3228 patients remained in post-matching analysis. During the median follow-up period of 58.2 months, we demonstrated that aspirin use increased risk of long-term MACEs in pre-matching cohort (unadjusted HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.43-2.17, P < 0.001) and post-matching cohort (HR 1.66 (1.31-2.10), P < 0.001). In addition, patients taking aspirin had a higher risk of bleeding than non-aspirin users in pre-matching cohort (unadjusted HR 2.28, 95% CI 1.09-4.75, P = 0.028). We demonstrated that aspirin was associated with increased risk of long-term MACEs in patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors. Due to the non-randomized design, our results should be interpreted with caution.
