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

Radial artery spasm (RAS) occurs in around 50% of patients who undergo interventional aneurysm surgery through the radial artery approach, leading to suboptimal long-term recovery for some. We suggested using brachial plexus block (BPB) to enhance surgical impact on the radial artery, and we confirmed that preconditioning with BPB effectively reduces RAS occurrence and improves prognosis. A total of 177 patients were randomly assigned to either the BPB group or the control group. The main outcome measure was diagnosing RAS incidence through intraoperative angiography, characterized by defects at vessel edges during radial artery angiography. In the control group, RAS occurred in 62.5% (55 out of 88), while it only appeared in 9.0% (8 out of 89) in the BPB group-a significant absolute difference (-53.5 percentage points). The findings suggest that BPB may be an effective strategy to reduce intraoperative RAS incidence in patients undergoing transradial access (TRA) for intracranial aneurysm interventional surgery.
