Compartment Syndrome Complication of Coronary Intervention Using Ulnar Artery Access.

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
backgroundCompartment syndrome (CS) is a rare complication from ulnar artery access for coronary intervention. CASE SUMMARY: An 84-year-old patient presented with acute coronary syndrome. Coronary intervention was performed using ulnar artery access after radial access was found to be unsuitable. Post-procedure, upper extremity hematoma progressed to CS. Surgical fasciotomy and ulnar artery repair was successful, but neurologic impairment remained. DISCUSSION: This patient represents a unique case of coronary intervention using ulnar artery access with resultant complications of hematoma and progression to CS. In this case, the multitude of vascular risk factors probably contributed to this complication. Early CS recognition by symptoms and examination was assisted by vascular ultrasound. Prompt surgical intervention with evacuation of the hematoma and arterial repair prevented tissue necrosis or possible amputation; however, lingering nerve damage remained. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Early recognition and appropriate management of ulnar artery-related CS is critical to minimize long-term complications.
