Peripheral insertion of double-lumen central venous catheter using the Seldinger technique in newborns.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2008. 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
objectiveTo report the experience of peripheral insertion of double-lumen central catheters (PIDLCC) in preterm and term newborn infants and to analyze the technical characteristics of the procedure and any observed complications. STUDY
designRetrospective review of 61 newborns that had a PIDLCC between 2003 and 2006. The study comprised clinical data analysis, anthropometrics, indications, duration, complications and reasons for withdrawal of the catheters.
resultWeight of the patients was <1 kg in 10%, and >2 kg in 75%. Catheters tip placement was as aimed, mostly superior cava vein (SCV), in 65.5%, and subclavian vein in remaining 34.5% and average duration of catheterization was 13.5+/-9.6 and 8.9+/-5.8 days, respectively. Blood sampling through both lumens was possible especially when the tip was at SCV. Reasons for catheter withdrawal were end of indication (45.9%), phlebitis/edema (21.3%), suspected infection (3.2%), accidental withdrawal (3.2%) and rupture of proximal end (3.2%). In three (4.9%) patients, withdrawal was due to serious complications (two cases of pleural leakage of infusion fluid and one breakage of the metallic guide). About 16.3% of the patients died with the catheter still in situ. Infection findings were positive tip culture (14.7%) and catheter-related sepsis (3.2%).
conclusionInsertion of PIDLCC is possible in neonates. The incidence of complications, mostly mechanical, requires careful evaluation of indications, and strict adherence to the procedure of insertion and manipulation.
