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

BackgroundThe patient-associated prevalence of Clopidogrel (CPG)-and Aspirin (ASS)-nonresponse is not well understood and varies depending on the patient population. The influence of responder status for platelet inhibition in patients eligible for carotid artery stenting (CAS) on post-interventional cerebral ischemia is unknown.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective, mono-center analysis of all patients with response-test undergoing elective CAS between 2010 and 2024 and available MRI before and after CAS. Study groups were formed according to ASS- and CPG-response. Cerebral ischemia patterns were compared between study groups in univariate analysis and patient-associated co-morbidities were tested for association with drug resistance or infarction frequency.ResultsIn total, 50/68 (73.5%) of patients showed adequate response to ASS and CPG. Non-response to CPG was higher than to ASS (clopidogrel resistance rate: 14.8%, aspirin resistance rate: 9.2%). All patients with non-response were bridged with GP IIb/IIIa antagonist tirofiban during CAS. Under these conditions, the responder status did not influence post-interventional cerebral infarction patterns.ConclusionAntiplatelet non-response, especially for CPG, is very frequent in patients undergoing CAS. When bridging patients with tirofiban during intervention, responder status had no influence on post-interventional cerebral infarction patterns.
