Correlation between ultrasound-measured inferior vena cava diameter and peripherally inserted central catheter measured central venous pressure in low birth weight infants.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 evaluate the correlation between ultrasound-measured inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and central venous pressure (CVP) measured by peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in low birth weight infants (LBWI) and explore potential influencing factors.
methodsThis retrospective study included 120 LBWI with birth weights below 2500 g who required umbilical vein catheterization at Huadu District People's Hospital of Guangzhou from May 2022 to April 2024. Infants were categorized based on PICC catheterization into two groups. Clinical data, including ultrasound-measured IVC small diameter (SD) and large diameter (LD) at the level of the left portal vein, were collected. The SD/LD ratio (S/L) was calculated, and logistic regression analyses (univariate and multivariate) were performed to identify factors influencing PICC catheterization. Correlations between SD, LD, S/L, and CVP were analyzed.
resultsMultivariate logistic regression identified gestational age, birth weight, SD, S/L, and CVP as significant factors influencing PICC catheterization in LBWI (all P < 0.05). SD and S/L showed a positive correlation with CVP (both P < 0.05). The S/L ratio was significantly correlated with gestational age, birth weight, ventilator mode, tricuspid regurgitation, and vasoactive drug use (all P < 0.05).
conclusionBirth weight, SD, S/L ratio, and CVP are significant factors affecting PICC placement in LBWI. There is a notable correlation between ultrasound-measured IVC SD and S/L ratio and PICC-measured CVP in LBWIs.
