Predictors of Complications in Patients Undergoing Port Catheter Application: A Comparative Study.
Observational study in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundChemotherapy is a common treatment for cancer patients that can prolong the survival of malignancies. Central venous access provides safety and comfort during chemotherapy to cancer patients. The aim of our study was predictors of complications in patients who underwent subcutaneous venous port catheter placement.
methodsThis retrospective observational study was conducted after the approval of local review board Demographic characteristics, indications, surgical results, and complications of all patients with malignancy diagnoses undergoing subcutaneous venous port catheterization in the thoracic surgery clinics were recorded. The age, gender, indications, procedure duration, layer placement site, side, complication type and development time of the treated patients were compared.
resultsA total of 378 patients were included in the final analysis. Forty-four (11.6%) patients had complications; 27 (7.1%) had thrombosis, 6 (1.6%) had protrusion, 4 (1.1%) had pneumothorax, 3 (0.8%) had infection, 3 (0.8%) had mispositioning, and 1 (0.3%) had cardiac arrest due to the procedure. Significant differences were observed between complication groups regarding age, sex, insertion location/side, and lymphoma presence. Logistic regression analysis identified insertion side, presence of lymphoma, and insertion location as independent predictors, with insertion side showing the strongest association (p=0.003, p=0.014 and p=0.017 respectively).
conclusionsIt is essential to acknowledge that the application of left-sided catheters, presence of lymphoma and the selection of the internal jugular veins are associated with an increased risk of complications in patients requiring port placement.
