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
OBJECTIVES/
backgroundTo assess brake reaction time (BRT; key factor in driving ability) in patients receiving transfemoral coronary angiography (CAG). We assumed that patients would have a significantly impaired BRT after the procedure.
methodsA prospective, observational study design was applied. Consecutive patients undergoing right-sided transfemoral CAG as part of the clinical routine were included. An experimental driving simulator was used to determine BRT after receiving a visual stimulus. The subjects applied the brake with their right foot as quickly as possible when a red-light signal appeared. The time interval between stimulus and brake application was taken as BRT. In addition to the total BRT, also its components were determined: neurologic reaction time, foot transfer time and brake travel time. BRT was determined before and 1 day after CAG (pre-post comparison).
results71 patients were included in the analysis (58 male, age 61 ± 9 years). Total BRT was 594 ± 188 and 591 ± 198 ms before and after the CAG procedure, respectively (p = 0.270). Similarly, also the BRT components 'foot transfer time' and 'brake travel time' did not show significant differences between the two test occasions. However, neurologic reaction time decreased from 269 ± 67 to 255 ± 64 ms (p = 0.036).
conclusionsWe found no impairment of BRT on the first day after puncture of the right-sided femoral artery in patients undergoing CAG. Therefore, with regard to BRT, it is regarded safe to resume driving from day 1 after CAG. Other factors of driving safety beyond BRT must also be considered.
