Effectiveness of Synthetic Polymer-coated Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter in Patients With Advanced Cancer.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimA peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is recommended for the safe administration of anticancer agents. The effectiveness of synthetic polymer-coated and non-coated PICCs was compared. PATIENTS AND
methodsPatients with advanced cancers who had indwelling PICCs were reviewed using their medical records. Three types of PICCs were compared in terms of complications and catheter failure.
resultsA total of 90 patients were retrospectively analyzed, including 31 with Groshong PICCs, 30 with Argyle PICC kit, and 29 with Argyle PICC kit II. The incidence of catheter failure for Groshong PICC, Argyle PICC kit, and Argyle PICC kit II per 1,000 PICC days was 4.4614, 5.6617, and 0.8658, respectively. Catheter failure-free survival in the Argyle PICC kit II group was significantly better than that in the Argyle PICC kit group (p=0.0339).
conclusionArgyle PICC kit II, a synthetic polymer-coated PICC, may render longer patency and prevention of catheter failure than non-coated PICCs.
