Preventing Kinks and Entrapments in Coronary Interventions With Innovative Approaches.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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
objectiveTo describe a novel balloon-assisted intraluminal technique for the removal of a kinked catheter during transradial coronary angiography complicated by subclavian artery tortuosity. KEY STEPS: Catheter kinking was recognized during transradial access, refractory to standard maneuvers. A retrieval attempt with snare via femoral access failed. Using multiangle fluoroscopy, a 0.014-inch BMW guide wire (Abbott) was advanced through the kinked catheter lumen. Inflation of a 2.0-mm low-profile balloon within the kinked segment provided intraluminal support. Slow inflation of the balloon allowed controlled traction and smooth catheter removal without adverse effects. POTENTIAL PITFALLS: Vessel damage or catheter breakage may occur if aggressive manipulation is attempted without intraluminal support. Precise fluoroscopic documentation of wire placement is essential. Operator expertise is paramount; escalation from simple to complex techniques should be followed. Attention to patient selection, catheter choice, and real-time imaging reduces risk. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Proper catheter handling, minimized manipulation, and device selection are crucial. Operator expertise ensures safe, efficient outcomes.
