Successful Retrieval of Rota Burr After Driveshaft Fracture.
Article in Case reports in cardiology, 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
Rotational atherectomy is an effective procedure for heavily calcified lesions and those that cannot be crossed using conventional percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) devices. Here, we report a rare case of intracoronary burr entrapment in the coronary artery due to burr disconnection from the driveshaft. A 67-year-old man undergoing hemodialysis for nephrosclerosis presented with exertional chest discomfort. Coronary angiography revealed stenotic lesions in the right coronary artery, and PCI was performed using a Rotawire Floppy. During the procedure, the disconnected burr was successfully removed without surgery using the child-in-mother technique with a guide extension catheter. Notably, the patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure and his recovery was uncomplicated. He was discharged on the second postprocedural day. At the 6-month follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with no evidence of myocardial ischemia. This report informs clinicians of the possibility of burr disconnection and the non-surgical intervention used for its removal.
