Rare advanced complication of an infusion port with pocket skin necrosis successfully preserve the port : a case report.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2025. 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
backgroundThe totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) is widely recommended for patients requiring chemotherapy, total parenteral nutrition, or long-term antibiotic therapy. Nevertheless, pocket skin necrosis, albeit infrequent, represents a potential complication that may progress to more severe adverse outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old female patient with a history of breast cancer developed localized skin thinning at the infusion port site six months after completing adjuvant chemotherapy. Over the subsequent seven months, conservative management was implemented; however, the patient later presented with skin necrosis and exposure at the site, accompanied by localized pain. To address this, a new pocket was created adjacent to the original site, and the puncture hub was relocated within the new pocket. Following this intervention, the patient successfully completed her treatment course.
conclusionProactive preparation of the local pocket skin may help mitigate the risk of pocket skin necrosis. In cases where necrosis occurs, creating an adjacent new pocket for hub relocation constitutes an effective approach for management and preservation of treatment continuity.
