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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThis case report examines the challenges associated with removing a totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) used for long-term chemotherapy in a patient with breast cancer. Prolonged use of TIVAPs can result in complications such as catheter kinking, thrombosis, and adhesions between the catheter and surrounding tissues, potentially complicating their removal. CASE SUMMARY: A breast cancer patient with bone metastasis presented with difficulty aspirating blood from a TIVAP that had been placed in the right internal jugular vein for 3 years. Initial removal attempts at the Department of Venous Access Center were unsuccessful, likely due to adhesions, necessitating a subsequent successful catheter extraction in a hybrid operating room. Imaging revealed no abnormalities, and the catheter was removed using a mosquito clamp to detach it from surrounding tissues.

conclusionThis case highlights the challenges of removing TIVAPs inserted
