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

Background: The transradial approach (TRA) has been gaining attraction for endovascular procedures. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the TRA vs. the transfemoral approach (TFA) for stenting in patients with vertebral artery (VA) stenosis. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled consecutive patients treated with endovascular stenting in the V1 segment of the vertebral artery from August 2020 to October 2021. We divided patients into two groups (TRA group and TFA group) and compared the procedure outcomes, post-procedure complications, and long-term outcomes with logistic regression models and propensity score-matching methods. Results: Among the 109 enrolled patients, 45 patients were treated via TRA and 64 patients were treated via TFA. The TRA group had a significantly shorter procedure time (43 vs. 50 min, Conclusion: This study found that TRA was a safe and feasible approach for vertebral artery stenting of V1 segment stenosis. TRA demonstrated advantages in reducing procedural time and length of stay compared to TFA. However, further large-scale and randomized controlled studies are warranted to verify these findings, given the retrospective and non-randomized nature of this study.
