Closed intravenous systems for central vascular access: A difference maker for CLABSI rates in neonates?
Observational study in The journal of vascular access, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundInfants in neonatal units are susceptible to numerous potential iatrogenic risks. One key concern is central line-associated blood stream infection (CLABSI). To ensure patient safety and reduce the incidence of CLABSI toward zero, numerous evidence-based clinical interventions and product innovations have been implemented. Nevertheless, sustaining zero CLABSI for sustained periods remains challenging.
aimThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact on CLABSI rates of introducing a preassembled closed intravenous (IV) administration set in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
methodsThis was a retrospective observational analysis of routinely collected anonymized IV therapy infection data in a NICU. The study period was from January 2019 through June 2020.
resultsNine-hundred eighty five patients with a Epicutaneo-Caval Catheter (ECC) were included (456 legacy IV set, 529 closed IV set). Patient demographics were comparable between the two groups. ECC dwell time was the only IV characteristic associated (
conclusionsUtilization of a pre-assembled closed IV administration set was associated with a reduction in CLABSI rates. The study results suggest that using a pre-assembled closed IV set concurrently with evidence-based central line infection control interventions can help attain extended periods of zero CLABSI.
