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

rationaleA multilumen access catheter (MAC) is a large-bore catheter that prevents kinking or collapsing. Misplacement is a frequently reported complication. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 59-year-old man who was diagnosed with a hemoperitoneum due to a liver laceration after a fall. DIAGNOSIS: After catheterization, we were able to aspirate blood through the 9 Fr, but not the 12-gauge line. Thus, we assumed that the catheter was misplaced. Nevertheless, ultrasonographic findings did not reveal the reason for the malfunction. We found kinking in the distal part of the catheter after removing it.

interventionThe MAC was removed soon after stopping the active bleeding. OUTCOMES: A hemihepatectomy was successfully performed, and the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit. LESSONS: Anesthesiologists should consider kinking of large-bore catheters, including MACs.
