Performance of angiographic quantitative flow ratio in guiding coronary interventions across different age groups: prespecified subgroup analysis of the FAVOR III China trial.
Article in Journal of geriatric cardiology : JGC, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) based lesion selection for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment has shown clinical benefits in terms of reduced risk for myocardial infarction and repeat revascularization. Whether this benefit is consistent across different age groups still needs further investigation. Methods: In this prespecified subgroup study of FAVOR III China trial, we compared long-term clinical outcomes between QFR-guided and angiography-guided PCI among different age groups among 3825 enrolled subjects. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven revascularization. Results: Of the 3825 patients, 1717 (44.9%) were aged ≥ 65 years. At baseline, patients ≥ 65 had higher rates of hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, stroke history ( Conclusions: Although with higher rate of comorbidities and more complex coronary anatomy, the long-term benefit of the QFR-guided PCI strategy remained consistent in patients ≥ 65 years, compared with those < 65 years.
