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
aimTo co-design an information booklet to support adults living with a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) at home.
designA sequential, mixed-method approach using Boyd's co-design framework.
methodA diverse project team led co-design of a PICC booklet based on preferences and PICC management strategies identified through content analysis of interviews with 15 Australian health consumers (January 2022-March 2023) using a qualitative descriptive approach. A draft booklet was developed, reviewed by the team and prototyped, which was evaluated by consumer participants and an external nurse panel, with readability assessed using Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid scores. The project team reviewed feedback, reached consensus on changes and collaborated with designers to produce the final booklet.
resultsConsumer participant strategies were classified into four categories: enhancing coping, taking responsibility and understanding information, modifying life and accessing supports. Two pre-determined categories were included (participant recommendations for PICC education resource content and top tips for living with a PICC). The prototype was evaluated as highly relevant (3.9/4), comprehensive (3.8/4) with an appropriate writing style and visual appeal. Readability scores were 76.1/100 (Flesch Reading Ease) and 6.9 (Flesch-Kincaid grade level). The final booklet contained 13 sections.
conclusionA co-design approach successfully created a novel PICC information booklet with positive evaluations. IMPLICATIONS: Provides understanding of consumer information preferences to inform PICC education and offers insight into consumer-developed strategies and knowledge for living with a PICC. IMPACT: A co-designed PICC information booklet based on consumer knowledge may augment nursing education for people living with a PICC to improve outcomes. REPORTING
methodThe qualitative component follows the EQUATOR network COREQ guideline. A co-design research reporting standard is not available. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: A consumer representative was a member of the project team and contributed to study design, interpretation of findings and development of the booklet and manuscript.
