Glycoprotein IIb\/IIIa inhibitors, particularly tirofiban, have been employed as adjunctive therapies to reduce these risks. Despite its potential benefits, the use of tirofiban remains a subject of debate, with varying recommendations across major clinical guidelines.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title><jats:p>We systematically searched five databases from 1 January 1992 to 1 April 2025, including Medline, Embase, Lilacs, Clinicaltrials.org and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), in addition to three grey literature databases. Randomised controlled trials and cluster randomised trials investigating the use of intravenous or intracoronary tirofiban in patients with ACS, unstable angina or myocardial infarction were considered for inclusion. Only published studies in English, Portuguese, Spanish and French were included. Data selection and extraction will be performed independently by two researchers, with any inconsistencies resolved with consensus or by consulting a third senior researcher. The risk of bias will be assessed through the risk of bias measurement tool (Rob-2) for interventions and\/or cluster trials by two researchers independently, and the overall certainty of evidence will be assessed by using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) tool. A meta-analysis will be carried out if there is sufficient homogeneity between studies, with subgroup analysis being performed if significant heterogeneity is detected. Additionally, a metaregression model will be conducted if sufficient data are available.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Ethics and dissemination<\/jats:title><jats:p>As this study involves secondary analysis of published data, ethics approval is not required.
