Crush Technique as Ultimate Bailout Treatment for Rotablator Burr Entrapment.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. 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
This case demonstrates the feasibility of a crush technique as an ultimate bailout treatment for Rotablator (Boston Scientific) burr entrapment during a complex percutaneous coronary intervention of the left main artery. This paper reports the case of a 77-year-old patient successfully treated by crushing the burr by a stent in the left main artery after complete burr entrapment. The patient had a calcified distal stenosis of the left main coronary with stenosis of the distal anastomosis of the saphenous vein graft to the obtuse marginal artery. The patient had several controls with optical coherence tomography imaging at 3 months. Immediate and 1-year clinical outcomes were satisfying. To our knowledge, this case is the first report of crushing technique as bail out option for entrapped rotablation burr.
