1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

An 11-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with the acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure. A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) was inserted from the left forearm. Ten days after its insertion, the withdrawal of PICC was attempted because of occlusion. However, it was not possible to remove PICC because a fibrin sheath had attached around its tip. A color Doppler and probe compression technique revealed the presence of a fibrin sheath, which could not be detected by gray-scale (real-time B-mode) ultrasonography. This case demonstrated that the color Doppler and probe compression technique is useful for detecting a fibrin sheath.
