Outcomes of Pediatric Osteogenesis Imperfecta Patients Requiring Port-a-Cath Placement for Long-Term Vascular Access.
Article in JBMR plus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intravenous (iv) bisphosphonates are widely used to treat the skeletal manifestations of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Obtaining peripheral iv access in pediatric patients with OI is often difficult and traumatic. Although this may be mitigated with surgically placed iv ports (port-a-caths), surgeons may be hesitant to perform this procedure on these children because of the lack of safety data. This study aims to gain better insight into the safety and efficacy of port-a-cath use in this population and identify risk factors for port-a-cath complications. In the present study, we conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of patient characteristics and the incidence of port-a-cath-related complications in children with OI. Fifty-three port-a-caths were placed in 29 children (21 males and 8 females). Of the 29 patients, most are OI type III (
