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

backgroundVascular thrombosis after large-bore device removal is a rare but critical complication that can result in limb ischemia or the need for open surgical intervention. Rapid identification and endovascular management are key to improving patient outcomes. PROJECT RATIONALE: With the 2025 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guidelines assigning a Class IIa recommendation for mechanical circulatory support in patients experiencing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock, the use of percutaneous left ventricular assist devices is increasing. However, protocols for safe closure after removal remain limited, prompting the need for structured quality improvement process managing. PROJECT SUMMARY: A patient required support from a percutaneous left ventricular assist device for 5 days. During removal, angiography revealed extensive iliac artery thrombosis. Multidisciplinary response included contralateral imaging, mechanical thrombectomy with dedicated large-vessel system, and subsequent closure with a collagen-based vascular closure device. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Routine angiography after large-bore device removal enables early complication detection. Mechanical thrombectomy provides an effective, minimally invasive option to avoid surgical escalation.
