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

backgroundMigration of gonadal vein embolization coils into the heart is rare but can lead to serious complications such as thrombosis, infection, or perforation. CASE SUMMARY: A 27-year-old woman presented with chest pain 2 years after bilateral gonadal vein embolization. Imaging revealed a migrated coil adherent to the right atrium. Initial femoral snaring attempts caused coil fragmentation. Successful retrieval was achieved using a combined balloon-assisted trapping technique and AngioVac aspiration via femoral and internal jugular access. The patient recovered uneventfully without residual fragments or complications. DISCUSSION: Endothelialization of migrated coils can impede percutaneous retrieval and increase procedural complexity. Multimodal strategies integrating aspiration and mechanical trapping may enhance success and avoid surgery. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Migrated embolization coils can be safely retrieved percutaneously using advanced multimodal techniques. Preprocedural imaging, multidisciplinary planning, and access to specialized equipment are essential for successful and complication-free outcomes.
