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

Objective: Endovascular procedures require precise guide wire control that often requires auxiliary devices. Therefore, catheterization can be time- and resource-intensive. A novel technology involves using a mobile external electromagnetic field to manipulate guide wires remotely, eliminating the need for additional devices. This experimental study evaluates the feasibility of this technology in a representative three-dimensional model mimicking the human vasculature, comparing it with conventional means. Methods: We assessed the efficacy of a magnetically steerable guide wire (MGW) vs a conventional guide wire (CGW) in catheterizing the renal artery in a three-dimensional silicone model of the abdominal aorta. Results: A total of 20 procedures were performed, with 10 utilizing an MGW for renal artery catheterization and 10 using a CGW. Technical success was 100% for all procedures. The median procedure time was significantly shorter for MGW than for CGW (105 vs 181 seconds; Conclusions: Precise control of a steerable guide wire using a mobile external electromagnetic field is technically feasible in a three-dimensional silicone model of the human aorta. It facilitates
