Minimizing Guidewire Unwilling Passage and Related Perforation During Transradial Procedures: Prevention Is Better Than Cure.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Current guidewires for transradial coronary angiography had defects of passage difficulty or branch injury. This study sought to investigate the safety and efficiency of a novel method of active knuckle-angle 0.035-inch hydrophilic guidewire in transradial coronary angiography. Methods: Patients undergoing a transradial coronary procedure in our team from August 2015 to June 2020 were retrospectively investigated. We compared the demographic and interventional characteristics of 1,457 patients receiving advancement of unmodified guidewires (Traditional group) and 1,322 patients receiving advancement of the knuckle guidewire (Knuckle group). Afterwards we included 239 patients and randomized them according to a random number table to either the unmodified or the knuckle guidewire to further confirm the efficiency and safety of knuckle guidewire advancement. Results: In the retrospective analysis, unwilling passage of guidewire into branches occurred more in the Traditional group than in the Knuckle group (9.5 vs. 0.08%, Conclusion: Active knuckle angle guidewire represented a novel method to prevent unwilling passage and associated perforation with efficiency improvement and a reduction in radiation exposure.
