Perforation of the Brachial Artery During Percutaneous Lower Extremity Angioplasty via the Brachial Artery Approach Resulting in Difficulties in Balloon Catheter Removal: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Percutaneous endovascular treatment of peripheral vascular disease with small-caliber short sheaths may lead to device removal difficulties. A 50-year-old woman on hemodialysis underwent endovascular intervention for right common femoral artery stenosis, via the right brachial artery. A 4-Fr short sheath was used for the procedure owing to a previous hematoma at the puncture site. However, the balloon catheter could not cross the calcified lesion and was difficult to remove. A microcatheter was inserted and withdrawn, but the guidewire was kinked and could not be retrieved. Surgical retrieval of the guidewire and balloon catheter was performed. The kinked guidewire and microcatheter had migrated outside the vessel. In peripheral vascular intervention, the use of a long sheath in the brachial artery approach is important. Forcible removal of a difficult-to-remove catheter may cause further vascular damage. Therefore, it is essential to stop immediately and consider surgical treatment.
