Abstract

Long-term safety and performance of magnesium-based bioresorbable scaffolds (MgBRS) in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients are uncertain.To report the 3-year clinical outcomes of the MAGSTEMI trial.This investigator-driven, multicentre, randomised, single-blind, controlled trial randomised STEMI patients 1:1 to MgBRS or to permanent metallic sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) at 11 academic centres. The main secondary endpoints included device-oriented composite endpoints (DoCE) and patient-oriented composite endpoints (PoCE), their individual components, any bleeding, and device thrombosis rate. All endpoints were defined according to the Academic Research Consortium. Events were adjudicated by an independent committee.Three-year clinical follow-up was obtained in 142 (90.0%) patients. At 3-year follow-up, MgBRS were associated with a higher rate of DoCE than SES (13 [17.6%] vs 5 [6.6%], diff -11.0 [95% CI: -21.3 to -0.7]; p=0.038). This difference was driven by an increased incidence of DoCE within the first year of follow-up. In the landmark analysis, there was no difference between 1 and 3 years (0 [0.0%] vs 1 [1.4%]; p=1.000). The difference in the rate of DoCE was driven by a higher incidence of target lesion revascularisation (TLR) in the MgBRS group compared to SES (12 [16.2%] vs 4 [5.3%]; diff -10.9% [95% CI: -20.7 to -1.2]; p=0.030). The difference in TLR was observed during the first year, with no further differences observed between 1 and 3 years (0 [0.0%] vs 1 [1.4%]; p=1.000).At 3-year follow-up, MgBRS were associated with a higher rate of TLR, which was clustered within the first year, compared to SES.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Eurointervention due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency WoS (JCR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2022, it was in position 32/143, thus managing to position itself as a Q1 (Primer Cuartil), in the category Cardiac & Cardiovascular Systems.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations provided by WoS (ESI, Clarivate), it yields a value for the citation normalization relative to the expected citation rate of: 1.2. This indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: ESI Nov 14, 2024)

This information is reinforced by other indicators of the same type, which, although dynamic over time and dependent on the set of average global citations at the time of their calculation, consistently position the work at some point among the top 50% most cited in its field:

  • Weighted Average of Normalized Impact by the Scopus agency: 1.59 (source consulted: FECYT Feb 2024)
  • Field Citation Ratio (FCR) from Dimensions: 7.68 (source consulted: Dimensions Jun 2025)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2025-06-29, the following number of citations:

  • WoS: 10
  • Scopus: 14
  • Europe PMC: 4

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-06-29:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 19.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 19 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 21.25.
  • The number of mentions on the social network Facebook: 1 (Altmetric).
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 42 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
