Vascular Complications of Transradial Access for Cardiac Catheterization.
Review in US cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Transradial access has been increasingly adopted for cardiac catheterization. It is crucial for operators to recognize potential vascular complications associated with radial artery access. Prevention, early detection, and prompt treatment of vascular complications are essential to prevent serious morbidities. This review aims to raise awareness of transradial access vascular complications. Radial artery spasm is treated with intra-arterial verapamil and/or nitroglycerine. Hemorrhagic complications, such as perforation, hematoma, arteriovenous fistula, and pseudoaneurysm, are treated with prolonged compression. Patent hemostasis and adequate anticoagulation are used to prevent radial artery occlusion. Hand ischemia is a rare complication not associated with abnormal results of the Allen or Barbeau test, and can be treated with intraarterial verapamil, IV heparin, and IV diltiazem. Finally, an attentive monitoring protocol for the timely detection of vascular complications should be implemented in daily practice.
