1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A novel device for distal fixation of a guidewire was tested in regards to deployment and retrieval, deposition in the blood stream and force of fixation in a pig model. Eleven pigs were subjected to full anaesthesia and heparinized to active clotting time 250-350 s. Uninterrupted blood flow during 4 h deposition was assessed by angiography and inspected for thrombus deposition upon retrieval. The force of fixation was investigated up to the level of loss of fixation (displacement force). The device was successfully deployed and retrieved in over 40 cases. In one case, an alternative method for bailout retrieval was used. Deposition for 4 h was performed, and uninterrupted blood flow was verified by angiography. No instances of arterial occlusion or thrombosis were detected. The median dislocation force was 7.6 N. No arterial rupture or dissection was detected following the loss of fixation. As a conclusion, the device was considered safe and functional in this animal test model.
