Table 1 Characteristics of the studies included in the meta-analysis
| Trial | Study design | Population/clinical setting | Sample size | DAPT run-in duration before randomization | Follow-up duration | Trial primary outcome | Outcomes used in this meta-analysis |
| TWILIGHT | Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled | High-risk patients undergoing PCI | 7119 | 3 months | 12 months | Clinically relevant bleeding (BARC 2-5) and ischemic composite (death, MI, stroke) | Clinically relevant bleeding (BARC 2/3/5), MACE (death, MI, stroke), NACE |
| TICO | Randomized, open-label with blinded endpoint adjudication | Acute coronary syndrome patients undergoing PCI (East Asian cohort) | 3056 | 3 months | 12 months | Composite of major bleeding and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events | Major bleeding (TIMI major), ischemic outcomes, contributed to NACE |
| T-PASS | Randomized, open-label | Acute coronary syndrome patients undergoing PCI | As reported in trial publication | < 1 month | 12 months | Composite of ischemic and bleeding events at 1 year | Major bleeding, MACE (approximated from reported event counts) |
| ULTIMATE-DAPT | Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled | Acute coronary syndrome patients undergoing PCI | As reported in trial publication | 1 month | 12 months | Clinically relevant bleeding with ischemic safety outcomes | Clinically relevant bleeding (BARC 2/3/5), major bleeding (BARC 3/5), MACE, NACE |
