Advantages of the use of ultrasound in newborn vascular access: a systematic review.
Review in Journal of ultrasound, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Vascular access in neonates and small infants is often challenging. Ultrasound (US) screening and guidance improves its safety and efficacy. The advantages of a pre-implantation ultrasound examination are intuitive; it is a practical and safe technique that doesn't use radiation, allowing static and dynamic evaluations to be carried out and identifying anatomical variations, the caliber and depth of the vessel, the patency of the entire course and attached structures (nerves, etc.). Optimization of the image is a crucial aspect in achieving a clear view of all anatomical structures while avoiding complications. The goal of this review was to look into the benefits of using US in invasive catheter insertion procedures, especially in pediatric patients. Ultrasonography is used to visualize vessels and related structures in two dimensions (2D), sometimes with the help of color Doppler to detect the presence of intraluminal thrombi by applying gentle compression to assess vessel collapse and evaluate morphologic changes in the internal jugular vein (IJV) who had undergone central venous catheter (CVC) insertion during the neonatal period (Montes-Tapia et al. in J Pediatr Surg 51:1700-1703, 2016).
