Rivaroxaban versus Enoxaparin in Patients with Radial Artery Occlusion after Transradial Coronary Catheterization: A Pilot Randomization Trial.
Article in Vascular specialist international, 2025. 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
The radial artery is currently the main vascular access site for cardiac catheterization. Radial artery occlusion (RAO), although a relatively silent complication, raises concerns because of its potential impact on future procedures. This pilot randomized controlled trial compared the efficacy and safety of two anticoagulation regimens-subcutaneous enoxaparin and oral rivaroxaban-in resolving symptomatic ultrasound-confirmed RAO in 40 patients (median age 55 years [interquartile range, 48-64], including 26 female patients [70.3%]) who underwent diagnostic cardiac catheterization without requiring dual antiplatelet therapy. Thirty-seven patients completed the 28-day ultrasound-based follow-up, demonstrating comparable complete or partial resolution rates between rivaroxaban (16 of 20 patients [80.0%]) and enoxaparin (14 of 17 patients [82.3%]), with an odds ratio of 0.85 (95% confidence interval: 0.16 to 4.50). No major bleeding events occurred during the 28-day follow-up period. While rivaroxaban shows potential in resolving RAO, larger studies are necessary to validate these findings and evaluate the long-term outcomes.
