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
Inferior epigastric artery injury during femoral vein puncture is rare but typically occurs near its origin, requiring a careful and technically demanding approach. We report two cases of proximal right inferior epigastric artery injury following femoral vein puncture during catheter ablation. To minimize further damage, a steerable microcatheter was used to approach the distal inferior epigastric artery by adjusting its tip direction, and coil embolization was initiated distally. For proximal embolization, a balloon catheter was placed in the right external iliac artery for balloon-assisted, controlled coil packing at the origin. Complete hemostasis was achieved in both cases without complications. Balloon-assisted coil embolization using a steerable microcatheter appears to be an effective technique for managing proximal inferior epigastric artery injuries associated with femoral vein puncture.
