Prevention of complications related to peripherally inserted central catheter insertion techniques in newborns: systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Revista latino-americana de enfermagem, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveto analyze the effectiveness of peripherally inserted central catheter insertion techniques in preventing the occurrence of complications related to this device in newborns.
methoda paired and network systematic literature review and meta-analysis, with its search carried out in seven databases and in the Grey Literature, including randomized and non-randomized clinical trials. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 and Risk of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions tools. Certainty of the evidence was assessed by means of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation. A meta-analysis was carried out with the aid of the R statistical program.
resultseight studies with 1,126 newborns were included and six insertion techniques were identified: intracavitary electrocardiogram; intracavitary electrocardiogram associated with ultrasound; ultrasound; formula; anatomical landmark; and modified anatomical landmark. Five techniques significantly decreased primary tip malpositioning when compared to the control ( p <0.05). Intracavitary electrocardiogram significantly and more effectively reduced arrhythmias, general complications and phlebitis; the technique that used a formula also reduced general complications. Infection, infiltration, secondary tip malpositioning, catheter rupture, thrombosis, occlusion and catheter-associated skin lesion were not significantly preventable events.
conclusionintracavitary electrocardiogram and use of the formula were the most effective techniques in reducing complications.
