Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06455228 (Long Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Insertion Site and Catheter-related Complications in Antimicrobial Therapy), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

backgroundThe long peripheral intravenous catheter (long PIVC), a type of PIVC, has an indwelling time of 5-14 days and is one of the options for antibacterial therapy. However, there is no consensus regarding the impact of insertion site selection on the complications associated with long PIVCs.

methodsThis randomized controlled trial included 90 participants randomly assigned to either the control or experimental group, with 45 patients in each group. In the control group, long PIVCs were placed in the forearm, while in the experimental group, they were inserted in the upper arm. The primary outcome was catheter-related complications, while secondary outcomes included the first-attempt insertion success rate, total procedure time, and indwelling catheter duration.

resultsThe incidence of catheter-related complication rates was significantly lower in the experimental group (25.0%) compared to the control group (66.7%) (χ

conclusionsSelecting the upper arm as the insertion site for long PIVCs reduced the incidence of thrombophlebitis and extended indwelling catheter duration during antimicrobial therapy.
