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

backgroundSex differences in clinical outcomes remain controversial in patients treated with a drug-eluting stent (DES).

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether the effects of sex differences on ischemic and bleeding outcomes vary by bleeding risk in patients undergoing contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a second-generation DES and predominant use of potent P2Y

methodsThe PENDULUM (Platelet rEactivity in patieNts with DrUg eLUting stent and balancing risk of bleeding and ischeMic event) registry was a prospective, multicenter, PCI registry in Japan. The primary endpoints were major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and major bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium types 3 and 5) 30 months after the index PCI.

resultsOf the 6,266 patients included in this subgroup analysis, 1,357 patients (21.7%) were women. The incidences of MACCE and major bleeding at 30 months were similar between the sexes (MACCE: 9.4% vs 9.4%, HR: 1.00 [95% CI: 0.82-1.22]; P = 1.000; major bleeding: 4.2% vs 4.5%, HR: 1.07 [95% CI: 0.81-1.43]; P = 0.628). After adjustment, female sex was associated with lower incidences of MACCE at 30 months (adjusted HR: 0.65 [95% CI: 0.51-0.82]; P < 0.001). There was no interaction between sex and high bleeding risk for MACCE and major bleeding at 30-month follow-up (P for interaction = 0.926 and 0.617, respectively).

conclusionsFemale sex is an independent predictor of lower ischemic outcomes but not bleeding outcomes at 30 months in patients undergoing contemporary PCI with a second-generation DES and predominant use of potent P2Y
