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

introductionThe Rist guide catheter is specifically designed for transradial neurointervention (TRN) and has demonstrated efficacy in accessing distal intracranial vessels, achieving a high success rate. We investigated the impact of catheter position on its stability during TRN. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective study included 17 patients who underwent neuroendovascular procedures using the 7-French Rist guide catheter from March 2024 to February 2025. The procedures involved intracranial aneurysm and middle meningeal artery embolization. Catheter stability was evaluated based on its position and the effective catheter length (ECL), which is defined as the distance from the origin of the target vessel to the catheter tip.

resultsStable catheter positioning was achieved in 13 out of 17 cases at the petrous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA), the V3/4 segment of the vertebral artery (VA), and the distal external carotid artery (ECA) segment. The petrous segment corresponded to an ECL of approximately 20 cm, while the V3/4 or distal ECA segments corresponded to 16 cm. One case required switching to femoral access, but the procedure was successful in all cases, with no access site complications observed.

conclusionOur initial experience demonstrated that the position of the Rist catheter was relevant to its stability during TRN. Understanding its behavior would improve preprocedural planning and contribute to successful outcomes.
