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

backgroundUltrasound-guided peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement is vital for cancer therapy, but lidocaine infiltration faces limitations like puncture pain and vasospasm.

aimTo assess the clinical efficacy of a no-pain intervention-combining compound lidocaine cream with warm compress-in reducing pain during ultrasound-guided PICC placement in cancer patients.

methodsA retrospective cohort study analyzed 88 cancer patients undergoing PICC placement (Shanghai Fourth People's Hospital, 2024). Patients were divided into control (lidocaine infiltration,

resultsThe intervention group showed significantly lower pain scores (1.2 ± 0.4

conclusionThe combination of compound lidocaine cream with warm compress significantly alleviates procedural pain and enhances patient satisfaction during ultrasound-guided PICC placement in cancer patients, supporting its clinical application.
