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

backgroundRadial artery occlusion (RAO) is a common complication following transradial artery access (TRA). Patent hemostasis is recommended to reduce RAO. Prophylactic ulnar artery compression is a technique to increase the rate of patent hemostasis.

aimsTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of prophylactic ulnar artery compression in achieving patent hemostasis and preventing RAO after TRA with the Terry

methodsPatients undergoing coronary catheterization in three Quebec hospitals were included. A specific patent hemostasis protocol was used with the device. Radial artery patency using digital oximetry was assessed after Terry

resultsA total of 578 patients were included and followed up for 30 days. The average age was 69 ± 11 years, and 70% were male. Right radial access was used in 91% of cases. The introducer size was 5 Fr in 80% of cases. Patent hemostasis was 100%. The average time to hemostasis was 121 ± 41 min. At 30 days, RAO was found in a single patient (0.2%). Patients reported a high level of comfort, with 92% feeling "comfortable or very comfortable." A 10-15 min per patient reduction in nursing time was reported compared to standard single artery compression.
