Reducing umbilical catheter migration rates by using a novel securement device.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveThis study evaluates the effectiveness of a novel device, LifeBubble, in reducing umbilical cord catheter (UC) migration and associated complications in neonates. STUDY
designA retrospective review was performed at Oregon Health & Science University's NICU (2019-2021) to compare standard adhesive securement with LifeBubble. The primary outcomes were UC migration, discontinuation due to malposition, and CLABSI incidence. Differences between groups were statistically analyzed and logistic regression used to adjust for potential confounders.
resultsAmong 118 neonates (57 LifeBubble, 61 adhesive), LifeBubble significantly reduced migration of any UC > 1 vertebral body (12.3% vs. 55.7%), including UVC migration (5.3% vs. 39.3%) and UAC migration (7.0% vs 23.0%), as well as UVC discontinuation due to malposition (5.6% vs 37.7%). The number needed to treat (NNT) to prevent one instance of UVC discontinuation is 4.
conclusionLifeBubble effectively reduces UC migration and premature discontinuation, indicating its potential to enhance neonatal care and safety.
