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

Background: Difficult intravenous access is a condition that decreases the first-attempt success rate of intravenous catheterisation. It is important to evaluate patients with difficult vascular access using a standardised scale. This study was carried out to establish the Turkish validity and reliability of the 'Adult Difficult Intravenous Access Scale'. Methods: The methodological descriptive study was carried out in the Adult Emergency Department. The research sample consisted of 100 patients over 18 years of age, who were conscious, whose condition was not critical or who did not require resuscitation. 'Case Report Form' and 'Adult Difficult Intravenous Access Scale' were used. Results: The mean age of the patients was 57.54 ± 19.44 years, and 55% ( Conclusions: The Turkish version of the scale is a valid and reliable scale for determining the risk of difficult intravenous access. The practical use of this scale by healthcare professionals will enable earlier diagnosis of patients with difficult vascular access.
