Figure 1 Flowchart outlining search strategy and article-selection process.

Figure 2 Forest plots for all primary access outcomes. Transradial vs transfemoral secondary access. A: All primary access 30-d all-cause mortality; B: All primary access 30-d stroke/transient ischemic attack; C: All primary access 30-d major/life threatening bleeding complications; D: All primary access 30-d major vascular complications; E: All primary access 30-d minor vascular complications. CI: Confidence interval.

Figure 3 Funnel plot for all primary access outcomes. Transradial vs transfemoral secondary access. A: 30-d all-cause mortality; B: 30-d stroke/transient ischemic attack; C: 30-d major/life threatening bleeding complications; D: 30-d major vascular complications. OR: Odds ratio.
