Octyl-butyl-cyanoacrylate glue for securement of peripheral intravenous catheters: A retrospective, observational study in the neonatal population.
Observational study in The journal of vascular access, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundEvidence-based insertion and maintenance strategies for neonatal vascular access devices (VAD) exist to reduce the causes of VAD failure and complications in neonates. Peripheral intravenous catheter failure and complications including, infiltration, extravasation, phlebitis, dislodgement with/without removal, and infection are majorly influenced by catheter securement methods.
methodsA retrospective, observational study using routinely collected data on intravenous device use in a large neonatal intensive care unit in Qatar. A 6-month historical cohort was compared with a 6-month cohort after the introduction of an octyl-butyl-cyanoacrylate glue (CG). In the historical cohort, the catheter was secured using a semi-permeable transparent membrane dressing while in the CG cohort, CG was applied at the insertion site on initial insertion and after any dressing change. This was the only variable intervention between both groups.
resultsA total of 8330 peripheral catheters were inserted. All catheters were inserted and monitored by members of the NeoVAT team. 4457 (53.5%) were secured with just a semi-permeable transparent dressing and 3873 (46.5%) secured a semi-permeable transparent dressing with the addition of CG. The odds ratio for premature failure after securement with CG was 0.59 (0.54-0.65) when compared to the catheters secured with a semi-permeable transparent dressing, which was statistically significant (
conclusionsThe risk of developing device-related phlebitis and premature device removal, increased significantly if CG was not used for adjunct catheter securement. In parallel with the currently published literature, this study's findings support the use of CG for vascular device securement. When device securement and stabilization concerns are most pertinent CG is a safe and effective adjunct to reducing therapy failures in the neonatal patient population.
