1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Bioresorbable scaffolds aim to mitigate long-term complications of drug-eluting stents (DES). The bioresorbable magnesium scaffold Magmaris is an alternative, but its role in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains insufficiently studied. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate safety and efficacy of Magmaris in ACS and compare outcomes with DES. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for randomized and observational studies reporting outcomes of Magmaris in ACS. Primary outcome was target-lesion failure (TLF) defined as composite of cardiac death (CD), target-vessel myocardial infarction (TV-MI) and target-lesion revascularization (TLR) at one year. Secondary outcomes included scaffold/stent thrombosis (ST) and procedural success. Single-arm pooled event rates and pairwise comparisons were estimated using generalized linear mixed-effects models (GLMM). Results: We included four studies ( Conclusion: In ACS, Magmaris was associated with low observed ST rates, nevertheless, comparative safety and efficacy vs. DES remain uncertain due to limited and heterogeneous evidence. Higher TLR rates with Magmaris suggest that further technical improvements in next-generation magnesium scaffolds are needed before this strategy can be considered a robust alternative in ACS.
