Acute Forearm Compartment Syndrome Following Transradial Coronary Angiography: A Case Report.

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
The use of the transradial approach for performing coronary angiography is now a trend owing to the low risk of bleeding as well as quick recovery. Rare but life-threatening complications, such as acute compartment syndrome, must be identified promptly. A 60-year-old man presented to the hospital with excruciating pain and swelling in the forearm 2 hours post a transradial coronary angiography procedure. He was later diagnosed with acute compartment syndrome secondary to radial artery injury and managed with emergency fasciotomy, achieving full functional recovery. The transradial approach, while commonly used, can be associated with rare but serious complications such as acute compartment syndrome. In this case, early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention were crucial in preventing permanent damage. Clinicians should remain vigilant to ensure prompt management and favorable outcomes.
