Prevention of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC)-Associated Vein Thrombosis in Cancer: A Narrative Review.
Review in Biomedicines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is considered the most common and potentially life-threatening cardiovascular complication in cancer and the second leading cause of death after cancer progression itself. In recent years, the steadily increasing rate of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) seems mainly related to amelioration in imaging techniques and the placements of central venous catheters (CVCs). The pivotal role of CVCs in the switch from hospital to home care is offset by its high thrombotic burden. The peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) offers advantages (convenience, fast access, and cost-effectiveness) in comparison to centrally inserted devices (PORT), but increased thrombotic risk is reported. The aim of this narrative review was to offer a comprehensive overview of the existing literature about PICC-related thrombosis (PICC-VTE) by analyzing the current knowledge and related gaps. We further discussed advancements in insertion techniques, underscored the role of the novel PICC-PORT lines, and provided a "head-to-head" comparison among major guidelines on primary thromboprophylaxis.
