Safety and efficacy of a new long peripheral catheter in hospitalized patients - a retrospective observational study.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 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
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.

Abstract
Background: Venous access is a vital component of medical care for hospitalized patients, especially patients who present with difficult intravenous access and require long-term hospitalization. A promising solution for these challenges is the use of long peripheral catheters. This report highlights our experience with an innovative, easily inserted, over-the-needle-long peripheral catheter. Methods: A retrospective, observational study included patients admitted to internal medicine departments and underwent a new long peripheral catheter insertion. We provide data on patient characteristics, indications for long peripheral catheter insertion, insertion success rates, dwell times, and complications rates. Results: The study included 109 patients with a total of 128 long peripheral catheters. The leading indications for long peripheral catheter insertion were IV administration of antibiotics and vasopressors. A first-time user inserted 65% of long peripheral catheters on the first attempt, with an average insertion time of 131 ± 11 s. Success rates increased in parallel with experience gained ( Conclusions: The new long peripheral catheter provides a safe, rapid, and effective means of venous access. Its straightforward insertion technique, convenience, and suitability for "point of care" use make it a valuable option for patients requiring continuous intravenous therapy.
