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

backgroundTransradial access is widely used for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); however, complications such as radial artery spasm, perforation, and occlusion remain clinically relevant. Jahanzeb's Coronary Catheter Rolling Technique (JCRT) is a novel method designed to improve catheter navigation and reduce vascular trauma.

objectiveTo evaluate the feasibility, safety and clinical outcomes of JCRT compared with the conventional radial catheterization technique.

methodsIn this prospective, non-randomized comparative study 4,697 patients undergoing elective coronary angiography or PCI via radial access were included. Patients were allocated to JCRT (n = 1,519) or the standard technique (n = 3,178). Primary endpoints were arterial perforation and radial artery occlusion. Secondary endpoints included major bleeding, radial artery spasm, thrombosis, and patient and physician satisfaction. Outcomes were analyzed using odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and multivariable logistic regression was performed.

resultsJCRT was associated with a significantly lower overall complication rate (7.6% vs. 11.0%; OR: 0.66, 95% CI 0.52-0.92; p = 0.037). Significant reductions were observed in major bleeding (4.3% vs. 7.1%; OR: 0.58, 95% CI 0.42-0.81; p = 0.024), radial artery spasm (2.1% vs. 4.9%; OR: 0.41, 95% CI 0.27-0.63; p = 0.011), arterial perforation (1.6% vs. 3.8%; OR: 0.41, 95% CI 0.24-0.71; p = 0.032), and radial artery occlusion (2.8% vs. 6.3%; OR: 0.43, 95% CI 0.29-0.63; p = 0.006). On multivariable analysis, JCRT remained associated with reduced complications after adjustment (adjusted OR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.51-0.93; p = 0.021). Patient and physician satisfaction scores were significantly higher with JCRT (p < 0.001).

conclusionJCRT is a feasible and safe technique associated with reduced vascular complications and improved satisfaction. Further multicenter randomized studies are warranted to confirm these findings.
