Risk factors for peripherally inserted central catheter complications in neonates.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
objectiveTo determine factors associated with nonelective PICC removal and complications. STUDY
designOverall, 1234 PICCs were placed in 918 hospitalized infants <45 weeks postmenstrual age. Outcomes studied include nonelective PICC removal (removal prior to completion of therapy) and line complications. Univariate and multivariate mixed-effects logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the associations between potential predictor variables and clinical outcomes
resultsNonelective PICC removal occurred in 28.4% and complications in 34.4% of infants. Nonelective removal (p < 0.001) and complications (p = 0.006) occurred more often with upper than lower extremity PICCs. Malposition in the first 72 h (p = 0.0009) and over time (p = 0.0003) were more common in upper extremity PICCS; however, upper extremity PICCs were associated with a decreased incidence of phlebitis, edema, and perfusion changes (p = 0.03).
conclusionsApproximately one-third of PICCs were associated with complications. When feasible, lower extremity PICCs should be placed as they may be associated with fewer complications.
