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 occlusion (RAO) is a relatively common but benign complication following transradial endovascular approaches. Radial artery thrombectomy offers a potential strategy for re-access. Transradial access in the occluded vessel has been described as safe and feasible in recent literature; however, the step-by-step technical details have not been defined. This illustrative case highlights the technique developed at this institution, which has been performed in 7 consecutive patients. A middle-aged woman underwent initial diagnostic cerebral angiogram and balloon-occlusion test for tumor resection planning. Subsequently, the patient returned to for tumor embolization and was found to have RAO. Radial artery mechanical thrombectomy was performed, and this access was safely used for the embolization procedure.This report provides a technical description with illustrations for this approach in the setting of an acute occlusion following prior radial artery catheterizations. Recanalization of an acutely occluded radial artery is feasible and safe in our institutional experience.
