1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 investigate the effect of intracavitary electrocardiogram (IC-ECG) guidance on peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) related complications in neonatal patients.

methodsA total of 210 neonatal patients were included in the study. They were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Sichuan Provincial People's Hosptial between January, 2017 and December, 2019 and had PICC lines were placed in their upper limbs. The patients were randomly assigned to the observation group, which had PICC placement through conventional anatomical landmark guidance combined with IC-ECG guidance (

resultsThere were no significant difference between the two groups in sex composition, gestational age, postnatal days on the day of PICC placement, duration of PICC placement, disease profile, and the site of puncture (

conclusionA combination of anatomical landmark guidance and IC-ECG guidance to assist the placement of PICC decreases catheter-related complications.
