Transradial Access Results in Faster Skin Puncture to Reperfusion Time than Transfemoral Access in Posterior Circulation Mechanical Thrombectomy.
Article in Journal of vascular and interventional neurology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05225636 (Stroke Process in FEmoral Versus Radial Access), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
backgroundSuccessful mechanical embolectomy for acute embolic arterial occlusion in the posterior cerebral circulation can potentially result in less neurologic disability and mortality. The transradial approach can potentially offer more direct navigation into the posterior circulation than the transfemoral approach and can result in faster recanalization time.
objectiveTo compare procedural metrics and the technical and clinical outcomes of transradial versus transfemoral access for mechanical embolectomy in the posterior cerebral circulation. MATERIAL AND
methodsSingle-center retrospective review of a prospectively maintained neurointerventional database from a large volume neurointerventional service in a tertiary academic center. Patients presenting with acute disabling symptoms due to embolic occlusion of a large intracranial artery in the posterior that underwent to endovascular treatment in our institution from January 2017 to January 2019 were included in the present study.
resultsBetween January 2018 and January 2019 a total of 10 subjects underwent a mechanical embolectomy for acute embolic occlusion on the posterior circulation via transradial access; and between January 2017 and January 2018 a total of 10 subjects underwent a mechanical embolectomy for acute embolic occlusion on the posterior circulation via transfemoral access. Subjects in the transradial access group had a shorter skin puncture to recanalization time compared to the transfemoral group (29.2 ± 17.6 in the transradial group vs. 63.9 ± 56.7 in the transfemoral group respectively).
conclusionsThis is the first study comparing transradial versus transfemoral access for mechanical embolectomy in patients with acute embolic occlusion in the posterior cerebral circulation. Transradial access resulted in a safe, effective, and faster endovascular route for recanalization in the acute embolic occlusion of the posterior circulation.
