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

introductionThe concomitant use of PPIs with antiplatelet therapy remains controversial due to potential drug interactions affecting clinical outcomes. While PPIs are recommended for gastroprotection in patients receiving antiplatelet therapy, concerns persist regarding their impact on antiplatelet efficacy, particularly with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT).

aimsThe aim of this study is to evaluate the safety profiles of antiplatelet-proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) combinations and assess the clinical implications of their concurrent use in real-world settings through pharmacovigilance data analysis.

objectivesThe objective of this study is to analyze and compare the thrombo-embolic risk profiles of various antiplatelet-PPI combinations using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database.

methodsWe conducted a comprehensive analysis of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database to evaluate the thrombo-embolic risk associated with antiplatelet-PPI combinations. The reporting odds ratio (ROR) and information component were calculated to detect safety signals. The interaction signal score (INTSS) was used to assess the protective or harmful effects of adding acetylsalicylic acid to clopidogrel-PPI combinations. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Analysis revealed significant safety signals for thrombo-embolic events with clopidogrel-rabeprazole (ROR: 62.67, 95% CI: 38.38-102.32) and clopidogrel-omeprazole (ROR: 6.87, 95% CI: 4.89-9.66) combinations. DAPT-PPI combinations showed comparable safety profiles to monotherapy-PPI combinations. The INTSS analysis suggested a potential protective effect of acetylsalicylic acid when added to clopidogrel-PPI combinations. Genderspecific analysis revealed female predominance in monotherapy complications and male predominance in combination therapy events. Clinical outcomes, including mortality and hospitalization rates, were comparable between groups.

conclusionThis pharmacovigilance analysis suggests that while DAPT-PPI combinations demonstrate acceptable safety profiles, careful consideration should be given to PPI selection, particularly given the unexpected safety signals with rabeprazole and confirmed risks with omeprazole. The addition of acetylsalicylic acid to clopidogrel-PPI combinations may offer protective effects against thrombo-embolic events. These findings support individualized riskbenefit assessment in selecting antiplatelet-PPI combinations while ensuring adequate gastroprotection for high-risk patients.
