The Association Between Indwelling Arterial Catheters and Mortality in Hemodynamically Stable Patients With Respiratory Failure: A Propensity Score Analysis.
Article in Chest, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundIndwelling arterial catheters (IACs) are used extensively in the ICU for hemodynamic monitoring and for blood gas analysis. IAC use also poses potentially serious risks, including bloodstream infections and vascular complications. The purpose of this study was to assess whether IAC use was associated with mortality in patients who are mechanically ventilated and do not require vasopressor support.
methodsThis study used the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care II database, consisting of > 24,000 patients admitted to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center ICU between 2001 and 2008. Patients requiring mechanical ventilation who did not require vasopressors or have a diagnosis of sepsis were identified, and the primary outcome was 28-day mortality. A model based on patient demographics, comorbidities, vital signs, and laboratory results was developed to estimate the propensity for IAC placement. Patients were then propensity matched, and McNemar test was used to evaluate the association of IAC with 28-day mortality.
resultsWe identified 1,776 patients who were mechanically ventilated who met inclusion criteria. There were no differences in the covariates included in the final propensity model between the IAC and non-IAC propensity-matched groups. For the matched cohort, there was no difference in 28-day mortality between the IAC group and the non-IAC group (14.7% vs 15.2%; OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.62-1.47).
conclusionsIn hemodynamically stable patients who are mechanically ventilated, the presence of an IAC is not associated with a difference in 28-day mortality. Validation in other datasets, as well as further analyses in other subgroups, is warranted.
