The effect of three different techniques used to improve vein prominence on the first peripheral venous catheterization experience in nursing students: a randomized controlled study.
Trial report in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06056531 (The Effect of First Attempts at the Success of Peripheral Intravenous Cannulation Using Three Different Techniques on Nursing Students), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundPeripheral venous catheterization (PVC) insertion is a complex sensory-motor skill that can be difficult for nursing students to acquire.
objectivesThe authors aimed to examine the effect of three techniques used to improve vein prominence on achievement, knowledge, and psychomotor skills in the first PVC experience in nursing students.
methodsA single-center, parallel-group, randomized control study. Near-infrared light visualization (n = 49) and isometric exercise (n = 50) techniques were used in the intervention group, while the standard technique was used in the control group (n = 48). Data was collected using Prominence of the Veins, PVC Knowledge Evaluation Form, and Checklist for PVC.
resultsIn intra-group comparisons, participants in all three groups showed statistically significant improvements in their pre-and post-test knowledge scores. Regarding PVC psychomotor skills, no differences were seen between the groups in this study. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups in their success rate in acquiring the skill of PVC at the first attempt. It was seen that the most successful group was the infrared light visualization group.
conclusionsThis study highlighted the significant effect of isometric exercise and NIR vascular imaging in increasing vein prominence in nursing PVC training. The findings support the importance of using NIR light visualization technology and isometric exercise training tools for successful PVC placement. REGISTRATION: The trial was retrospectively registered at the ClinicalTrials.gov Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06056531).
