Evaluating the impact train-the-trainer program in nurse training for mini-midline catheter insertion.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07519304 (Effectiveness of a Needle-free Connector With Anti-reflux Technology in Reducing Complications From Long Peripheral Venous Catheters in Hospitalised Adult Patients), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
backgroundChina is adopting and promoting the mini-midline catheter insertion technique, which requires professional training to ensure its application and patient safety. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of the Train-the-Trainer model in nurse training for Mini-Midline Catheter Insertion.
methodsA medical center selected venous therapy specialist nurses for mini-midline catheter procedure training, after which these nurses became trainers and guided other nurses. The research utilized a mixed-methods design, incorporating puncture condition surveys and open-ended questions. Over the following six months, outcomes such as catheter insertion success rates were monitored, and nurses' interviews were analyzed using the Kawakita Jiro method.
resultsA total of 675 mini-midline catheters were inserted in the study, with a success rate of 97.54%. The success rate for first-attempt punctures was 86.51%, with 584 successful cases and no catheterization-related complications. After training, expert consultations for catheter issues decreased from 28.46 to 9.25%. Additionally, three key themes of the training were identified: (1) enhancing nurses' professional sense of achievement and job satisfaction through skill mastery; (2) familiar groups and environments are more conducive to improving training effectiveness; and (3) the multifaceted role opens up a brand new path for the professional development of nurses.
conclusionThe mini-midline catheter insertion training program based on the "train-the-trainer" model effectively ensures the standardization of nurses' techniques and the safety of punctures while also cultivating educators and thus deserves widespread promotion. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
