Kirby–Zhang surgery conjecture for the Poincaré homology sphere

Let KK be a knot in S3S^3. Suppose there exists a rational number rr such that the 33-manifold obtained by rr-surgery on KK is homeomorphic to the Poincaré homology sphere Σ(2,3,5)\Sigma(2,3,5). Kirby–Zhang's surgery conjecture. Then KK is the left-handed trefoil knot. This conjecture concerns the possible rational surgeries yielding the Poincaré homology sphere; the paper states it as a conjecture and derives the relevant genus-one consequence, while the general assertion remains open in the supplied text.
