Case Report: Difficult radial artery sheath removal: a report of two cases and review of the literature.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. 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
The transradial approach to coronary angiography and interventional therapy has gained worldwide popularity in recent years due to its lower rate of vascular complications compared to the femoral approach. We present two cases of patients who experienced difficulties in removing the radial artery sheath. In the first case, the sheath inadvertently fractured within the radial artery, but it was successfully extracted using hemostatic forceps. In the second case, a severe spasm of the radial artery complicated sheath removal, resulting in the sheath becoming stretched and deformed. Ultimately, the deformed sheath was removed slowly and successfully with the assistance of a guidewire and catheter. Furthermore, we conducted a review of existing literature to delineate management strategies for situations where sheath removal poses challenges.
