Comparison between Arm Port and Chest Port for Optimal Vascular Access Port in Patients with Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in BioMed research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06541301 (PICC-ports Versus Chest - Ports for Long Term Chemotherapy Deliverance in Oncology Patients Affected by Solid Tumors. A Prospective, Randomized Multicentric, Non Inferiority, Phase III Trial.), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 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.

Abstract
objectivesThis meta-analysis was conducted to compare the complication rates between arm and chest ports in patients with breast cancer.
resultsThere was no difference in the risk of overall complications between arm and chest ports for comparative studies (
conclusionsThis study indicated that the arm port might increase the risk of overall complication risks as well as the risk of catheter-related thrombosis compared with the chest port. However, these reported findings still need to be verified by large randomized clinical trials.
