Endovascular Retrieval of a Detached and Dislocated Venous Port Catheter in the Right Heart Chamber Using a Triple-Loop Snare Device.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The authors present a case of a successful percutaneous retrieval of a detached port-a-catheter device that had migrated to the right cardiac chambers in a patient with inoperable pancreatic cancer and hepatic metastases. The patient was admitted to the vascular clinic department on an urgent basis due to an accidental detachment of the catheter during removal at another hospital. The catheter had migrated from the initial placement site in the right subclavian vein to the superior vena cava and right heart chambers. Under local anesthesia, the right femoral vein was accessed using the Seldinger technique, and the migrated catheter was retrieved using a triple-snare-loop device for foreign body removal. Chest radiography after the retrieval procedure did not show any foreign bodies in the right heart chambers or superior vena cava. The patient was discharged home the following day.
