Risk Factors for Unplanned Early Implantable Port Catheter Removal in Adult Leukemia/Lymphoma Patients: Cancer Type or Different Degrees of Cytopenia?
Article in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
(1) Background: Implantable port catheters are vital for cancer treatment, but complications such as infections and mechanical failures pose challenges. Lymphoma and leukemia patients' unique cellular abnormalities may influence these risks. This study aimed to determine whether the underlying disease or varying degrees of cytopenia increase the risk of unplanned early port removal. (2) Methods: We conducted a single institution retrospective study that included 368 patients with lymphoma or leukemia who received implantable venous access ports between January 2015 and December 2022. Propensity score matching was employed to compare patients with and without early removals. (3) Results: Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences between early and non-early port removal for cancer, hemoglobin, and PG-SGA scores. Cox proportional hazard analysis demonstrated that leukemia patients exhibited a 4.5 times higher risk for unplanned early catheter removal than lymphoma patients did (HR 4.589, 95% CI 1.377-15.299,
