Early prevention of radial artery occlusion
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 14 papers, 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Conventional transradial access (TRA) has been the preferred access for coronary intervention. Recently, distal radial access (DRA) is introduced as an alternative choice to reduce radial artery occlusion (RAO) risk. The study sought to assess the impact of DRA on early RAO using Doppler ultrasound in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: This is a prospective, single-center, open-label randomized clinical trial in which patients with indications for primary PCI from January 2022 to September 2022 were assigned to DRA or TRA group with 100 cases in each group. The primary endpoint was the incidence of forearm RAO, evaluated by Doppler ultrasound before discharge. Results: The rate of access success was comparable between the DRA and TRA groups (98.0 vs. 94.0%, Conclusion: Distal radial access is associated with a comparable lower incidence of forearm RAO, shorter hemostasis time, and lower rate of vascular complications compared to TRA in primary PCI.
