Risk Factors and Outcomes Associated With Hospital-Onset Peripheral Intravenous Catheter-Associated
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundPeripheral venous catheters (PVCs) are common in hospitals, but the literature surrounding PVC-associated bacteremia is lacking. We describe incidence rates, risk factors, and outcomes related to PVC-associated
methodsThis is a retrospective case-control study conducted at a 537-bed teaching community hospital during 2015-2016. Cases were adult inpatients with HO SAB with infectious diseases documentation of the PVC as the only source of bacteremia. Cases were matched 1:2 with controls on approximate PVC insertion date, age, mortality prediction score, and insurance type. Odds ratios (ORs) were estimated using conditional logistic regression. PVC utilization was estimated by a point-prevalence survey from July 2017.
resultsOf 205 SAB episodes, 160 were community-onset and 45 were HO; 16 (36%) HO cases were PVC-associated. Cases (n = 16) were more likely than controls (n = 32) to have a PVC placed in the antecubital area (odds ratio [OR], 11.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.5-95.7;
conclusionsPVC-associated SAB is a common cause of HO SAB that results in significant morbidity. PVC placement in the antecubital area and line duration should be minimized to reduce HO SAB.
