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

Dialkylcarbamoylchloride dressing is a fatty acid derivative that has been shown in vitro to bind a number of pathogenic microorganisms. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of this technology in the care of the exit site of central venous catheter in a paediatric and neonatal population.

methodsThe study was conducted from September 2020 to December 2022 at the Infermi Hospital in Rimini. Central venous catheters were placed using the SIC bundle for insertion. Dialkylcarbamoylchloride dressing was placed below the subcutaneous anchoring at the time of CVC placement and at each dressing change. Data about the catheters and the exit site were recorded and then compared with an historical cohort.

results118 catheters were placed during the studied period. The dialkylcarbamoylchloride dressing was well-tolerated. No case of systemic or local infection was recorded. The comparison with the historical cohort showed a reduction in the rate of exit site infection (

conclusionDialkylcarbamoylchloride dressing is well-tolerated in paediatric and neonatal population. It represents a promising tool as a strategy for infection prevention.
