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
backgroundFew studies have evaluated long-term vascular function after radial access catheterization. Furthermore, the impact of repeated catheterization remains unknown. We investigated flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery after transradial catheterization.
methodsWe prospectively enrolled 50 patients with suspected coronary artery disease referred for diagnostic coronary angiography. No ad-hoc percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) had been performed at the time of the index procedure. In 30 patients (63.8%), PCI and/or repeated follow-up diagnostic catheterization were subsequently performed via the radial artery used at the index catheterization. FMD was successfully measured before catheterization, at 24 h after catheterization, and after long-term follow-up (mean, 32 months; range, 24-43) in 47 patients. FMD at follow-up was compared between patients receiving only one procedure and those receiving multiple procedures via the same arteries.
resultsFMD was significantly decreased after catheterization and recovered well in long-term follow-up (3.7 ± 1.6%, 3.0 ± 1.7%, and 3.9 ± 1.6%). There was no significant difference in follow-up FMD between the patients undergoing single catheterization and those with multiple procedures (3.4 ± 1.3 vs. 4.3 ± 1.7, p = 0.06). When the patients were divided into two groups according to the median follow-up FMD value, no significant predictive factor was identified for worse FMD.
conclusionsAfter transradial catheterization, FMD of the brachial artery temporarily decreased but recovered in long-term follow-up. Recovery of FMD was not jeopardized by repeated catheterization, which suggests the potential of the brachial artery to recover endothelial function after repeated transradial procedures.
