Association between the Use of Fondaparinux Plus Radial Access and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome.

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
backgroundBoth fondaparinux and radial access have been associated with lower rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
objectiveTo evaluate the association between the use of fondaparinux plus radial access and clinical outcomes.
methodsIn this study, 956 patients admitted with ACS and treated with an invasive strategy were analyzed. The primary outcome - a composite of major bleeding (according to OASIS-5 criteria) and MACE - was compared across groups defined by anticoagulation regimen (fondaparinux or enoxaparin) plus arterial access site (femoral vs. radial). A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsThe mean age of the study population was 65 ± 12.4 years, and 49.5% presented with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Fondaparinux and radial access were used concurrently in 366 patients. The primary endpoint occurred in 78 patients (8.1%): MACE in 50 (5.2%) and major bleeding in 32 (3.3%). The event rate was lowest in the fondaparinux plus radial access group (3.3%), compared with enoxaparin plus radial access (9.8%), fondaparinux plus femoral access (8.6%), and enoxaparin plus femoral access (14.4%) (p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis showed that the use of fondaparinux was associated with a 43% reduction in the primary outcome (OR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.34-0.96; p < 0.05), and radial access was independently associated with a 54% reduction (OR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.26-0.83; p = 0.01).
conclusionThe combination of fondaparinux and radial access was associated with the lowest rates of MACE and major bleeding, compared to either strategy alone.
