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

Totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAPs) are widely used for chemotherapy and other purposes in patients with cancer. Their convenience and safety make them ideal for long-term use. However, sometimes there are cases in which TIVAPs remain in the vessel following the completion of long-term chemotherapy and are difficult to remove due to the adhesion of the catheter to the vessel wall. In this study, we encountered a case in which a TIVAP catheter adhering to a blood vessel was fractured during removal and the catheter left in the vessel could not be retrieved by a snare because it had no free end. Finally, the catheter was successfully removed using a peel-away sheath. No complications or residual catheters were associated with the removal procedure.
