Validation of the Usefulness of the Diameter Reduction, Spiral Shape, Flow Impairment, or Adverse Morphology Classification System in Real-World Clinical Practice.
Observational study in Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2024. 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
aimThe accuracy of the DISFORM (diameter reduction, spiral shape, flow impairment, or adverse morphology) classification system has not been validated.
methodsThis retrospective multicenter observational study enrolled 288 consecutive patients with lower extremity artery disease who underwent endovascular therapy with drug-coated balloons for femoropopliteal lesions between January 2018 and December 2021. Patients were classified into DISFORM I-IV groups. Primary patency (PP) and freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) at 12 months, and recurrence predictors at 12 months were investigated.
resultsIn total, 183, 66, 11, and 28 patients were classified into DISFORM I, II, III, and IV groups, respectively. In the DISFORM I, II, III, and IV groups, the PP rates were 75.3%, 91.1%, 87.5%, and 50.0%, respectively, and freedom from CD-TLR rates were 86.0%, 91.6%, 88.9%, and 76.7%, respectively, at 12 months. In the DISFORM I-III and IV groups, the PP rates were 79.4% and 50.0%, respectively, and freedom from CD-TLR rates were 87.5% and 76.7%, respectively, at 12 months. Multivariate analysis showed that chronic limb-threatening ischemia, DISFORM IV, and Lutonix™ use were independent predictors of PP loss at 12 months.
conclusionDISFORM IV had a lower PP rate than DISFORM I-III in midterm phase.
