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

backgroundOf the three common central access sites, subclavian vein catheterization has the lowest risk of infection but the highest risk of pneumothorax. The main disadvantage of the short-axis ultrasound guided approach is difficult needle-tip visualization. We describe use of the hydrolocation technique to improve needle-tip localization. CASE: Two females, an 81-year-old and a 72-year-old, presented for coronary artery bypass grafting requiring central vein cannulation. To confirm that the needle tip was visualized and not the shaft, needle advancement was paused and 1 ml of saline injected. The appearance of a small anechoic pocket superficial to the subclavian vein helped to visualize the needle tip. Negative aspiration was then re-applied and slight advancement resulted in aspiration of blood and successful subclavian vein puncture.

conclusionsThe use of hydrolocation for subclavian vein access was easily implemented, required little modification in setup and technique, and provided improved localization of the needle tip.
