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

Angiography of internal mammary artery (IMA) coronary bypass grafts from contralateral radial artery access can be technically difficult. In this case series, a simplified method for IMA graft angiography via contralateral access was performed utilizing a mother-and-child technique with a guide extension catheter advanced to the IMA ostium over a coronary guidewire. The study group consisted of 6 patients (5 male and 1 female) with ages from 53 to 81 years. IMA graft age ranged from 7 to 25 years. Angiography was successfully completed in all patients without complications or need for alternative access.
