Cephalic Vein Cut-down for Totally Implantable Central Venous Access Devices With Preoperative Ultrasonography by Surgical Residents.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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/
aimCephalic vein (CV) cut-down for totally implantable central venous access devices (TICVADs) is not frequently used due to its low success rate. We compared the outcomes of CV cut-down using preoperative ultrasonography (US) performed by experienced surgeons versus surgical residents. PATIENTS AND
methodsFrom December 2015 to December 2017, 10 surgeons implanted 212 TICVADs using CV cut-down with preoperative US. The surgeons were divided into two groups of five each: surgical residents (Group A, n=124 procedures) and experienced surgeons (Group B, n=88 procedures). Duration of operation time, completion rate, and complications were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsThe completion rate was significantly higher in Group A (98.4% versus 92.0%, p=0.04). Duration of operation time (45.2±14.5 versus 42.0±13.1 minutes, p=0.22), rates of early complications (1.6% versus 1.1%, p=0.77) and late complications (3.2% versus 2.3%, p=0.68) were equivalent between the two groups. No fatal complications occurred in either group.
conclusionCV cut-down can be safely performed by surgical residents under the use of preoperative US.
