Influence of abciximab on evolution of left ventricular function in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes undergoing PCI after clopidogrel pretreatment: lessons from the ISAR-REACT 2 trial.

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
backgroundAbciximab reduced the combined endpoint of death, myocardial infarction (MI) and target vessel revascularization in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation after a 600-mg loading dose of clopidogrel. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of abciximab on the evolution of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in these patients.
methodsThe current study included 1,158 patients enrolled in the randomized, double-blind ISAR-REACT 2 (the Intracoronary Stenting and Antithrombotic Regimen: Rapid Early Action for Coronary Treatment) trial who had paired angiograms obtained at baseline and 6-8 months after randomization. Of them, 586 patients received abciximab and 572 patients received placebo. The primary outcome analysis was LVEF at 6-8-month follow-up.
resultsBaseline LVEF was comparable in patients assigned to abciximab or placebo (53.2 ± 12.6 vs. 53.7 ± 12.1%; P = 0.393). At 6-8-month follow-up angiography, there was no difference in LVEF between the abciximab and placebo groups (55.4 ± 11.5 vs. 55.8 ± 11.2%; P = 0.743). Subgroup analysis of patients with elevated baseline troponin (>0.03 μg/L) also revealed comparable LVEF at follow-up in both treatment groups (P = 0.527). The multivariate analysis identified age, arterial hypertension, prior MI, prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery, baseline LVEF, MI at 30 days and repeat PCI as independent correlates of follow-up LVEF.
conclusionAlthough abciximab reduced the 30-day and 1-year incidence of major adverse cardiac events in patients with NSTE-ACS undergoing primary PCI after pre-treatment with a 600-mg loading dose of clopidogrel, the agent did not improve or impact on the evolution of LVEF over 6-8 months of follow-up.
