Transradial Approach in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Lessons from a High-volume Centre.
Article in Interventional cardiology (London, England), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The transradial approach (TRA) is the recommended technique for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome, according to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines. There is a large body of evidence showing reduction in bleeding and mortality when the TRA is used. The TRA is also more convenient for patients, by allowing early mobilisation. Finally, by facilitating patient turnover and fast (re)transfer after the procedure, the TRA enables operators to meet the current recommendations of early invasive therapy in both ST and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. On the other hand, the TRA is technically more challenging than the transfemoral approach (TFA) and requires longer learning curve, which hinders its uptake by low-volume operators/centres. Nevertheless, in the hands of experienced high-volume operators, such as at Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis (OLVG) Amsterdam, the TRA achieves comparable procedural outcomes and favourable clinical results compared with the TFA, as it is in cases of primary PCI.
