CYP2C19 genotype-guided escalation to ticagrelor vs. clopidogrel in secondary stroke prevention: a retrospective cohort study.

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.
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
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of an antiplatelet therapy strategy guided by CYP2C19 genotyping in the secondary prevention of ischemic stroke in a real-world setting. Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study enrolled 623 ischemic stroke patients. Based on their CYP2C19 genotype (extensive metabolizer [EM], intermediate metabolizer [IM], poor metabolizer [PM]) and the actual P2Y12 receptor antagonist treatment received (clopidogrel or ticagrelor), patients were categorized into natural cohorts. To minimize confounding, we applied propensity score matching, yielding a final analysis cohort of 514 patients. The primary outcome was the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including stroke recurrence, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death, within 12 months. The secondary outcome was bleeding events. Results: With respect to platelet reactivity, the proportions of high platelet reactivity in PM and IM patients (61.25%, 34.07%) were significantly higher than in EM patients (12.50%) (all Conclusion: Antiplatelet therapy guided by CYP2C19 genotyping is an effective strategy for optimizing the secondary prevention of ischemic stroke. For IM and PM patients, switching from clopidogrel to ticagrelor significantly reduces the risk of recurrent ischemic events without increasing bleeding risk. In contrast, for EM patients, clopidogrel remained an effective and safe option.
