Nurse Anesthetist-Performed PICC Insertion: A Prospective Longitudinal Study in a Norwegian Hospital.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
Introduction: The majority of hospitalized patients require vascular access for intravenous medical treatment. A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) may be indicated for long-term treatment. In many Norwegian hospitals, this is a nurse anesthetist-led initiative. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the use of PICCs from insertion to completed treatment and to assess potential risk factors for the development of catheter-related complications. Methods: A quantitative prospective, longitudinal design was used. Data were collected via electronic patient records, as well as through telephone surveys with patients every fourth week until the catheter was discontinued. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 28 was used for analysis. Results: In total, 401 PICCs were included. The primary indications were antibiotic treatment ( Conclusion: The study showed a low incidence of severe PICC-related complications. Peripherally inserted central catheters were inserted and used according to local guidelines. The study indicates that nurse anesthetists' knowledge and experience can be utilized in the future selection and insertion of vascular access for patients, as well as in training and education on PICCs.
