1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionTransradial approach (TRA) is a new technique proposed for performing cerebral angiography and neuro-interventional procedures. In this article, we sought to provide a step-by-step guide for carrying out a diagnostic cerebral angiography using this approach and summarize our center's experience. MATERIAL AND

methodsRecords of patients since January 2020 were investigated, and data on demographic indices, reports of the procedures, outcomes, and complications were extracted. Then, these data were used to develop a step-by-step instruction for TRA cerebral angiography.

resultsTwo hundred eighty-nine patients matched our eligibility criteria with a mean age of 50 years and a female-to-male ratio of 1.18. Overall, TRA was carried out successfully for 97.2% (281 patients). In case TRA failed, transfemoral approach was considered for the procedure. Three minor complications (two vasospasm and one small hematoma) and two major complications (one pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery and one radial artery avulsion) were observed.

conclusionThis article covers challenges a neurointerventionalist may face during a diagnostic cerebral angiography using TRA. Furthermore, our findings indicated that cerebral angiography with TRA might be performed safely and with a great success rate.
