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
The transradial approach using dedicated guiding catheters, such as the RIST guiding catheter, has gained popularity in neuroendovascular treatment. However, concerns remain regarding system instability. We evaluated the feasibility and safety of transradial approach with advancement of the RIST to a higher and more stable position (petrous to cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery). We conducted a single-center, retrospective, era-based cohort study comparing a transfemoral approach-first era (2022-2023) with a transradial approach with high RIST placement-first era (2024-2025). Consecutive adult patients who underwent endovascular treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysms were included. After the exclusion of posterior circulation and ruptured aneurysms, 171 procedures (96 transfemoral approach and 75 transradial approach) were analyzed. The primary outcome was procedural success. Safety outcomes included neurological complications, access-site complications, and 30-day mortality. The primary analysis was era-based; sensitivity analyses were performed per protocol, and subgroup analyses focused on lesion laterality. In the transradial approach-first era, the procedural success rate was 99% (odds ratio 1.57, 95% confidence interval 0.14-17.70, p > 0.99), neurological complications occurred in 3%, access-site complications in 3%, and 30-day mortality in 0%, comparable to those in the transfemoral approach-first era. Sensitivity analyses restricted to cases with high RIST placement yielded similar results. The subgroup analysis did not reveal any interaction between outcomes and lesion laterality; The P-values for interaction were 0.294 for procedural success, 0.079 for periprocedural neurological complications, and 0.176 for access-site complications. Transradial approach using a high RIST placement appears feasible and safe, achieving high success and low complication rates.
