The anti\u2010inflammatory drug colchicine seems to reduce ischemic events in patients with CAD.

MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL and conference abstracts were searched from January 1975 to October 2020. Randomized trials assessing colchicine compared with placebo\/standard therapy in patients with CAD were included. Data were combined using random\u2010effects models. The reliability of the available data was tested using trial sequential analyses . Of 3108 citations, 13 randomized trials (n=13\u00a0125) were included. Colchicine versus placebo\/standard therapy in patients with CAD reduced risk of myocardial infarction (odds ratio [OR] 0.64; 95% CI, 0.46\u20130.90;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      =0.01;\n                      <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      41%) and stroke\/transient ischemic attack (OR 0.50; 95% CI, 0.31\u20130.81;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      =0.005;\n                      <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      0%).
