Transcatheter Removal of Bone Cement Embolism in the Right Atrium after Percutaneous Vertebroplasty: The Embolus Broke in Half and Migrated to the Right Pulmonary Artery Intraoperatively.
Article in Taehan Yongsang Uihakhoe chi, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Bone cement embolism often occurs during percutaneous vertebroplasty. Bone cement pulmonary arterial embolism generally requires no treatment because of the small size and asymptomatic manifestation. Intracardiac bone cement embolisms are rare but associated with a risk of severe complications. Intracardiac bone cement embolisms are mainly removed through open heart surgery. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of intracardiac bone cement embolisms removed with interventions have been reported. Here, we report another case of successful transcatheter retrieval of a 6-cm-long cement embolism in the right atrium after percutaneous vertebroplasty. The embolus broke in half and migrated to the right pulmonary artery intraoperatively. Using two snares and a filter retrieval device, we advanced from opposite directions. Further, we gently grasped and pulled the fragments of the right pulmonary artery and aligned them in a linear fashion directly into the sheath for uneventful removal.
