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

backgroundThe optimal inner diameter for enhancing the success rate of distal radial artery (DRA) puncture has not been documented. The aim of this study was to explore the appropriate inner diameter of DRA to increase the success rate of puncture and reduce vascular complications.

methodsThis is a retrospective study. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to predict the DRA inner diameter for puncture success. The operative efficacy and safety were compared between groups with different DRA inner diameters, grouped according to the cut-off value.

resultsA total of 670 patients were included in the study. The DRA inner diameter had a significant predictive value (AUC = 0.718) for puncture success, with a cut-off value of 1.95 mm. The puncture success rate was significantly lower in the DRA inner diameter < 2.0 mm group than in the DRA inner diameter ≥ 2.0 mm group (93.1% vs. 98.2%, P = 0.001). Twenty-five (3.7%) developed distal radial artery occlusion (dRAO) after the operation, including 15 dRAO without proximal radial artery occlusion (pRAO) and 10 dRAO with pRAO. The incidence of dRAO with pRAO was significantly greater in the DRA inner diameter < 2.0 mm subgroup than in the DRA inner diameter ≥ 2.0 mm subgroup (2.8% vs. 0.5%, P = 0.041).

conclusionsThe success rate of puncture was lower in patients with DRA inner diameter < 2.0 mm, whereas the incidence of dRAO with pRAO was higher. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
