Post-PCI quantitative flow ratio predicts 3-year outcome after rotational atherectomy in patients with heavily calcified lesions.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundThe study sought to investigate the clinical predictive value of quantitative flow ratio (QFR) for the long-term outcome in patients with heavily calcified lesions who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following rotational atherectomy (RA).
methodsIn this retrospective study, 393 consecutive patients from 2009 to 2017 were enrolled. The QFR of the entire target vessel (QFRv) and the QFR of the stent plus 5 mm proximally and distally (in-segment) (QFRi) were measured. The primary endpoint was target lesion failure (TLF), including target lesion-cardiac death (TL-CD), target lesion-myocardial infarction (TL-MI), and clinically driven-target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR).
resultsA total of 224 patients with 224 calcified lesions completed the clinical follow-up, and 52 patients had TLF. There was no significant difference in QFRv post-PCI between non-TLF and TLF groups (p > .05). However, QFRi post PCI was significantly higher in the non-TLF group than in the TLF group. Multivariate Cox regression showed that QFRi post-PCI was an excellent predictor of TLF after a 3-year follow-up (HR 1.7E
conclusionsQFRi post-PCI showed a high predictive value for TLF for during a 3-year follow-up in patients who underwent PCI following RA; specifically, lower QFRi values post-PCI were associated with worse TLF.
