One-year clinical outcomes with abciximab in acute myocardial infarction: results of the BRAVE-3 randomized trial.
Trial report in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeIn the Bavarian Reperfusion Alternatives Evaluation (BRAVE)-3 study upstream administration of abciximab additional to 600 mg clopidogrel loading did not reduce the infarct size in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary interventions. The aim of this study was to investigate 1-year clinical outcomes in the BRAVE-3 study patients.
methodsA total of 800 patients with acute STEMI within 24 h from symptom onset, all treated with 600 mg of clopidogrel were randomized in a double-blind fashion to receive either abciximab (n = 401) or placebo (n = 399) in the intensive care unit before being sent to the catheterization laboratory.
resultsThe main outcome of interest of the present study, the composite of death, recurrent myocardial infarction, stroke or revascularization of the infarct-related artery (IRA) at 1 year, was 23.0% (92 patients) in the abciximab versus 25.7% (102 patients) in the placebo group [relative risk (RR) = 0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.67-1.20; P = 0.46]. The combined incidence of death, recurrent myocardial infarction or stroke was 9.3% in the abciximab group versus 6.0% in the placebo group (RR = 1.55, 95% CI 0.93-2.58; P = 0.09). There was a significant reduction of the IRA revascularization with abciximab compared to placebo (16.3 vs. 22.3%, RR = 0.71, 95% CI 0.52-0.98; P = 0.04).
conclusionIn patients with STEMI, all receiving 600 mg clopidogrel, abciximab did not improve overall clinical outcomes at 1 year after primary coronary stenting.
