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

Driveline infection (DLI) is treated by local irrigation via driveline exit site (DLES) and surgical debridement is considered in patients with deep DLI. We describe three cases of deeply progressed superficial DLI that were considered to require surgical debridement but could be treated with a unique catheter cleaning method using intravenous indwelling catheter, a cotton swab with 10% silver nitrate solution and a monofilament nylon thread. Case 1 was a 60-y-old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular assist device implantation 2 y before. Daily bedside debridement with 10% silver nitrate solution was performed via the DLES. Case 2 was a 43-y-old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy who had recurrent DLI with methicillin-resistant
