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

backgroundPreventive measures for radial artery complications in distal transradial approach are not fully studied. Our aim was to investigate the role of nitroglycerine injection in patients undergoing coronary angiography via distal transradial access.

methodsIn this study, 168 patients who underwent angiographic procedures performed via distal transradial route with or without nitroglycerine injection were evaluated. Demographic, angiographic, and laboratory characteristics were recorded. Radial artery outcomes, including radial artery spasm, radial artery occlusion, and hematoma were compared between these groups and P values < .05 indicated significant differences.

resultsRadial artery outcome occurred in 22% of the study population (n = 37), with radial artery spasm being the most encountered complication (n = 28, 16.7%). The groups were not different in terms of radial artery complications. Procedural features were also comparable except for the total contrast volume used.

conclusionCoronary angiographic procedures could be performed safely using distal transradial access without nitroglycerine injection.
