Comparative analysis of cerebral angiography via right versus left radial artery approaches.
Article in BMC neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThe use of right transradial approach (TRA) in cerebral angiography has been mature, but it is still limited by anatomical variation of the right radial artery or left-sided vertebral artery lesions. This study aimed to compare outcomes between right and left TRA for cerebral angiography and evaluate the safety of left TRA.
methodsThe study cohort comprised 80 patients who underwent cerebral angiography via TRA. The patients' clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. Bilateral proximal and distal radial artery diameters were measured preoperatively using ultrasonography. Puncture site complications and radial artery patency were assessed using ultrasonography 1 day postoperatively. Hand ischemia was followed up by telephone or in clinic 30 days postoperatively.
resultsThe overall procedural success rate was 92.5% (74/80); 92.0% (46/50) in the right TRA group and 93.3% (28/30) in the left TRA group, with no significant differences between the groups (p > 0.05). Left TRA was associated with a significantly longer procedure time compared with right TRA in the secondary outcomes (35.50 ± 15.62 min vs. 45.50 ± 16.04 min, respectively; p = 0.008). Linear regression analysis adjusted for confounders confirmed this difference (mean difference: 8.516 min; 95% CI, 1.178-15.853; p = 0.024). No hand ischemia events occurred during ultrasonography and follow-up.
conclusionsWe found no significant differences in the safety and efficacy of cerebral angiography performed via right vs. left TRA. Left TRA can be applied to anatomical variations of the right radial artery or to treat left-sided vertebral artery lesions.
