Firesorb bioresorbable scaffold for de novo coronary artery disease: 1-year clinical outcomes.
Trial report in BMC medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 2 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

Abstract
backgroundThe first-generation bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) have been associated with higher rates of device-related adverse outcomes in comparison to everolimus-eluting stents. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the thinner-strut (100/125 μm) poly-L-lactic acid-based sirolimus-eluting Firesorb BRS in patients with de novo coronary lesions.
methodsPatient-level data derived from 1205 patients in the FUTURE-II RCT (n = 215) and FUTURE-III registry (n = 990) were prospectively collected, pooled, and analyzed. The primary endpoint of 1-year target lesion failure (TLF) was defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization. The patient-oriented composite endpoint (POCE) of all-cause death, any myocardial infarction, or any revascularization was also analyzed.
resultsAt 1-year follow-up, the cumulative rate of TLF was 1.67%, with an upper 95% confidence interval of 2.57%, significantly lower than the objective performance criterion goal of 6.6% (P < 0.001). The rate of single TLF components was 0.42% for cardiac death, 0.92% for target vessel myocardial infarction, and 0.42% for ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization. The cumulative rate of POCE at 1 year was 3.34%. No patient experienced definite or probable device thrombosis during 1-year follow-up.
conclusionsThis pooled, patient-level analysis indicates that the thinner strut Firesorb BRS exhibits promising 1-year efficacy and safety profiles with regard to TLF. However, our findings are only applicable to non-complex lesions; large-scale randomized clinical trials powered to assess clinical endpoints are necessary to evaluate the strategy of Firesorb BRS compared to drug-eluting stents.
