Impact of peripherally inserted central venous catheter-associated phlebitis in neonate guided by intracavitary electrocardiogram: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

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
Because the application of intracavitary electrocardiogram (IC-ECG)-guided peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in the treatment of neonates is controversial in terms of phlebitis reduction compared with traditional X-ray positioning technique, a systematical evaluation is needed on the impact of IC-ECG on this common complication following PICC. Literature retrieval was conducted on large databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane library, and CNKI. Randomised controlled trials (RTCs) of intracavitary electrocardiogram-guided peripherally inserted central catheter tip placement in the treatment of neonates up to July 7, 2022, were collected. Then indicators of included studies were compared and analysed by two researchers. Meta-analysis was performed on the STATA 17.0 software. After excluding invalid trials, 11 out of 316 randomised controlled trials were included for further analysis. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with the control group, IC-ECG-guided PICC could decrease the incidence of phlebitis (I
