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

Fistula failures are categorized as early or late. Early failure occurs when an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) does not mature sufficiently for use or fails within the first 3 months of its creation. Traditionally, these early failures lead to abandonment of the circuit, but endovascular salvage has proven to be effective in salvaging a significant number. This study describes salvage of AVF with early failure by aggressive fistuloplasty and juxta-anastomotic stenosis (JAS) stenting using the transradial arterial and retrograde venous access technique. This is a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of patients who developed early fistula failure between January 2022 and September 2024. Ten patients underwent successful salvage of their failed radiocephalic AVF using this technique and JAS stenting. At 4 weeks post intervention, nine fistulas remained patent and were deemed mature for cannulation. At the 6-month follow-up, 70% of the salvaged fistulas remained patent and functional. Endovascular salvage of early failure of autogenous AVF using the combined transradial arterial and retrograde venous access technique is feasible and safe in highly selected patients and will help to preserve forearm AVF patency.
