A Case of Unusual Guidewire Tip Entrapment During Side Branch Recrossing: Successful Retrieval With the Proximal Optimization Technique.
Article in Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, 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
Coronary guidewire entrapment is a rare but serious complication that can occur during percutaneous coronary intervention. We report an unusual case of guidewire tip entrapment that occurred during an attempt to recross into a side branch after stent implantation. In this case, only the coil tip remained trapped after repeated microcatheter-assisted retrieval attempts, and it was unexpectedly dislodged into the aorta during reproximal optimal technique procedures. Based on this experience, we propose the proximal optimal technique as a potential bailout strategy when conventional approaches fail in cases of guidewire tip entrapment.
