Double-Guidewire-Assisted Balloon Traction for Removing Fractured Catheters: A New Approach.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundCatheter fracture is a rare and serious complication of interventional therapy, causing vascular injury or embolization without timely intervention, making the safe and minimally invasive retrieval of fractured catheters an important research focus. CASE SUMMARY: A 36-year-old female patient with cervical pregnancy experienced a catheter fracture in the left internal iliac artery branch during uterine artery embolization, which was successfully retrieved using double-guidewire-assisted balloon traction. DISCUSSION: Double-guidewire-assisted balloon traction can be attempted when the guidewire is difficult to pass through the free-floating fractured catheter in small-caliber vessels. The critical step involves advancing a guidewire through the gap between the fractured catheter and the vessel wall to induce vasospasm, thus stabilizing the free-floating catheter. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: This case presents a novel balloon-assisted traction technique for retrieving fractured catheters in small-caliber vessels, particularly when the guidewire is difficult to pass through the lumen of the free-floating fractured catheter.
