Evaluation of radial artery endothelial functions in transradial coronary angiography according to different radial access sites.

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
objectiveRadial endothelial dysfunction may occur after transradial coronary angiography (CAG). This study aimed to make a comparative evaluation of the radial endothelial functions before and after catheterization between three different radial access sites: left radial (LR) artery, left distal radial (LDR) artery, and right radial (RR) artery.
methodsSeventy patients scheduled for elective transradial CAG and intervention from September 6, 2017 to March 6, 2018 were consecutively enrolled. Radial artery endothelial functions of the catheterization arm were measured by flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) upon admission, at 24 hours, and 2 months following the procedure.
resultsLR access was used in 17 patients, whereas the LDR and the RR access were used in 27 and 26 patients, respectively. Basal radial diameters and FMD median values measured on the intervention arm were found to be similar between groups (LR 3.04±0.29 mm, 13.33%; LDR 2.79±0.31 mm; 13.64%; RR 2.74±0.29 mm; 12.52%, p=0.952). The radial vasodilation percentage change expressed as median decreased in all groups 24 hours after the procedure; however, the one with the LDR access was found to be significantly higher than with the LR (9.7% vs. 6.25% p=0.013) and the RR access (9.7% vs. 3.39 p<0.001). A partial recovery of endothelial functions was seen at 2 months after the procedure, approximating to basal values (11.11%; 12%; 10.62%, p=0.079, respectively).
conclusionRadial artery functions deteriorate early after transradial catheterization. The LDR access seems safer than the other conventional radial access sites in terms of preservation of radial endothelial functions.
