The Modern Role of Neonatal PICCs Subspecialty.
Review in Nursing in critical care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
This perspective review examines the evolving role of neonatal peripherally inserted central catheters (n-PICCs) as a distinct subspecialty within neonatal vascular access. n-PICCs are indispensable for delivering long-term intravenous therapies in critically ill neonates. The review explores ethical considerations, equitable access to vascular access technologies and prioritisation of patient safety in procedural training. The implementation of specialised vascular access teams, rather than an all-staff model, is advocated to enhance procedural success, reduce device-related complications and promote a culture of accountability. Future directions include the development of smart catheter technologies, pseudo-tunnelling techniques and simulation-based education to advance and maintain clinical competency.
