Adverse events associated with umbilical catheters: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
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 the incidence of adverse events (AEs) associated with umbilical catheters in the neonatal population. STUDY
designSystematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies and randomized controlled trials published between 2010 and 2020.
resultsIn total 14,226 umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) and 4228 umbilical arterial catheters (UACs) were included. Overall, 13.4% of UVCs were associated with an AE (95% CI: 10.1-17.0) or 2.4 per 1000 catheter days (95% CI: 1.8-3.0). UACs had an AE rate of 9% (95% CI: 5.9-12.8) or 0.87 per 1000 catheter days (95% CI: 0.4-1.3). UVC malposition was the most common (41.7% [95% CI: 27.6-56.5]). Local injury from UAC taping was the most common AE in one study.
conclusionsUmbilical catheters have a high incidence of AEs. Research into accurate methods of tip verification, tip surveillance, and securement is required.
