The central vein access port and catheter in outpatient chemotherapy for colorectal cancer: a retrospective study of 101 patients.
Article in Surgery today, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 papers.
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
purposeThe central venous access port (CV-port) system was examined in a series of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.
methodsOne hundred and one CRC patients underwent chemotherapy with the 5-fluorouracil + oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) or 5-fluorouracil + irinotecan regimen. The complications of the CV-port system were retrospectively assessed.
resultsThe CV-port system was placed in a total of 101 patients. The patients received a total of 1020 [corrected] courses of these regimens. Eight complications occurred in the 101 patients (7.9%). The complications included three instances of catheter rupture, two thrombotic events around the catheter, and three infections at the site of the port or catheter. The complications were identified after a median of nine courses (range 6-16) and 135 days after the placement of the CV-port system. Sixty-six of the 101 patients switched their regimen from FOLFOX to another regimen, and 4 of these 66 patients (6.1%) experienced complications associated with the CV-port system. There were 25 subjects who were admitted to the hospital emergency wing during the chemotherapeutic regimens, and 4 of these patients (16%) had complications associated with the CV-port system.
conclusionsThe complications of the CV-port system occurred at a defined rate, therefore the early diagnosis and the appropriate treatment to address these complications is crucial.
