The value of ultrasound in transradial access cerebral angiography.

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
Background: Transradial access (TRA) for cerebral angiography presents challenges such as puncture failures, prolonged procedure times, and difficulties in catheter advancement due to radial artery variations. Utilizing ultrasound guidance, which has demonstrated success in coronary angiography, may improve TRA outcomes. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of ultrasound-guided TRA in cerebral angiography, focusing on success rates, procedure duration, and patient satisfaction. Methods: A prospective, non-randomized, controlled trial included 197 patients scheduled for TRA between June 2022 and January 2024. Patients undergoing cerebral angiography through TRA were divided into control and ultrasound group. The ultrasound group underwent preoperative right upper extremity artery ultrasound assessment, with ultrasound-guided puncture for challenging cases. The primary outcomes were procedure completion rate, duration, patient satisfaction, and complication rates. Statistical analyses were performed using Student's t-test for continuous variables and the chi-square test for categorical variables to compare these outcomes between the two groups, using a two-tailed significance level of Results: This study included a total of 197 patients: 73 in the control group and 124 in the ultrasound group. TRA was completed in 69 patients (94.5%) in the control group and 117 patients (99.2%) in the ultrasound group. The average operation time was 0.67 ± 0.19 h in the control group and 0.55 ± 0.19 h in the ultrasound group ( Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided TRA in cerebral angiography effectively mitigated challenges related to puncture failures and procedure duration, offering the potential to improve outcomes and patient satisfaction in TRA procedures.
