Endovascular retrieval of an entrapped balloon in a tibial artery.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Balloon entrapment is a rare complication of angioplasty in calcified or recalcitrant lesions. A 65-year-old man with chronic limb-threatening ischemia underwent balloon angioplasty of his heavily calcified tibial arteries with a low-profile, tapered, compliant balloon. The balloon became entrapped within the posterior tibial artery and required multiple endovascular maneuvers to deflate and separate the balloon from the calcified arterial wall. This case report describes several adjunctive techniques for retrieval of an entrapped balloon in small, calcified arteries before consideration of surgical removal. These techniques allow for minimally invasive retrieval and continuation of endovascular treatment thereafter.
