Comparison of High-Dose versus Low-Dose Paclitaxel Drug-Coated Balloons for Native Femoropopliteal Artery Disease: An Analysis of the K-VIS ELLA Registry.
Article in Yonsei medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeDrug-coated balloons (DCBs) have demonstrated favorable outcomes in the treatment of femoropopliteal artery (FPA) disease. A variety of DCBs are currently available, with differing doses of antiproliferative agents and types of excipients. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of high-dose versus low-dose paclitaxel DCBs for the treatment of FPA disease. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe analyzed data from the multicenter the Korean Vascular Intervention Society Endovascular Therapy in Lower Limb Artery Diseases (K-VIS ELLA) registry, focusing on patients treated with a high-dose paclitaxel DCB (IN.PACT™) or low-dose paclitaxel DCB (Lutonix™ or Ranger™) for native vessel FPA disease. We used inverse probability of treatment weighting to adjust for confounding factors and conducted subgroup analyses based on lesion characteristics.
resultsAmong 820 target limbs, 626 were treated with a high-dose paclitaxel DCB, and 194 were treated with a low-dose paclitaxel DCB. At 12 months, there were no significant differences in rates of freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (TLR; 91.7% vs. 89.4%, log-rank
conclusionIn this multicenter cohort study of patients with complex FPA disease, there were no significant differences between high-dose DCB and low-dose DCB with respect to freedom from clinically driven TLR, MALE, or all-cause mortality at 12-month follow-up.
