Feasibility and predictors of failure in a distal transradial-first access strategy for endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms: A single-center study of 208 cases.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo assess the feasibility, procedural success, predictors of failure, and complications associated with the distal transradial approach (dTRA) as first-line endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 208 patients (211 aneurysms) treated between April 2024 and April 2025 in whom dTRA was the default access. Success rates, factors associated with failure, and access-related complications were analyzed.
resultsTransradial approach (TRA) puncture success was achieved in 97.1% (202/208) of cases, with an overall success rate of 92.8% (193/208). For dTRA, the puncture success rate was 83.2% (159/191), with treatment success of 95.6% (152/159) after puncture success, comparable to conventional TRA. After successful puncture, procedures through the right internal carotid artery (ICA), left ICA with bovine aortic arch, and bilateral vertebral arteries were all successful, whereas those via the left ICA with a non-bovine aortic arch showed a lower success rate (52/61, 85.2%). In this subgroup, TRA failure was associated with shorter stature (160 cm vs. 151 cm, p=0.039), diabetes mellitus (11.5% vs. 44.4%, p=0.032), smaller brachiocephalic artery-left common carotid artery (BCA-LCCA) angle (19.9° vs. 5.5°, p=0.009), and type III aortic arch (42.3% vs. 88.9%, p=0.013). The optimal BCA-LCCA angle cut-off was 9.4° (area under the curve, 0.78). Access-related complications occurred in 3.4% (7/208) of patients. No symptomatic radial artery occlusion or dissection was observed.
conclusionTRA with dTRA as a first-line access is feasible and effective. Left ICA access with a non-bovine aortic arch remains technically challenging, particularly in patients with unfavorable factors.
