1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Intraprocedural endovascular device fracture and migration is an uncommon complication, with potential catastrophic outcomes. In a 75-year-old woman, retrograde puncture of the superficial femoral artery led to accidental femoral vein puncture and wire coating fragmentation. The fragment migrated up to a sublobar branch of the left pulmonary artery, and again to the right pulmonary artery during the first retrieval attempt. The final retrieval was performed by twisting three 0.014″ wires around the fragment, together with the support provided by the thromboaspiration Indigo-Penumbra catheter. The triple wire twisting technique supported by an aspiration catheter seems to be safe and effective for this serious pulmonary complication.
