Comparison of long-term radial artery occlusion following trans-radial coronary intervention using 6-french versus 7-french sheaths.
Trial report in Cardiology journal, 2021. 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to explore the impact of 6-Fr and 7-Fr sheaths on the incidence of long-term radial artery occlusion (RAO) after trans-radial coronary intervention (TRI).
methodsFrom September 2013 to January 2016, patients with ischemic heart disease including acute myocardial infarction and true bifurcation lesions were randomly assigned to 6-Fr group and 7-Fr group immediately after coronary angiography in a 1:1 ratio. The radial artery diameters were observed by ultrasound examination one day prior to TRI as well as at 30 days and 1 year after TRI. The primary endpoint was the incidence of RAO at 1-year after TRI. The secondary endpoints were the incidence of local vascular complications during hospitalization and changes of radial artery diameters within 1-year after TRI between the two groups. Additionally, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore potential factors related to the incidence of long-term RAO after TRI.
resultsA total of 214 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to 6-Fr group (n = 105) or 7-Fr group (n = 109). There was no significant difference in the incidence of RAO at 1-year after TRI (8.57% vs. 12.84%, p = 0.313). Moreover, no significant difference was observed in the incidence of local vascular complications during hospitalization (20% vs. 24.77%, p = 0.403). After 1-year follow-up, no significant difference was found in radial artery diameters (2.63 ± 0.31 mm vs. 2.64 ± 0.27 mm, p = 0.802). Multivariate logistic analysis revealed that repeated TRI was an independent risk factor of long-term RAO 1 year after TRI (OR = 10.316, 95% CI 2.928-36.351, p = 0.001).
conclusionsCompared to 6-Fr sheath, 7-Fr sheath did not increase short-term or long-term incidence of RAO after TRI.
