Cubital vein access provides a practical alternative to internal jugular vein access for coronary sinus catheter placement.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2024. 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: Insertion of electrode catheters into the coronary sinus (CS) through the right internal jugular vein (RIJV) carries risks of pneumothorax and severe hematoma formation. This study was performed to compare the safety and feasibility of catheterization through the left cubital superficial vein versus the RIJV. Methods: This prospective nonrandomized study involved consecutive patients who underwent catheter ablation from September 2021 to February 2023. Blind puncture techniques were used in the left cubital vein group; ultrasound-guided insertion was performed in the RIJV group. The success rates of sheath insertion and CS catheterization, the procedure and fluoroscopy times of CS cannulation, and complications were compared between groups. Results: The left cubital vein group comprised 152 patients, and the RIJV group comprised 58 patients. The sheath insertion success rate was significantly lower in the cubital vein group than in the RIJV group (84.9% vs 100%, respectively; Conclusion: The left cubital vein approach is practical, offering a viable alternative to the RIJV approach.
