Time to occurrence and predictors of peripheral intravenous cannula-induced complications among pediatrics patients in Debre Birhan City public hospitals, Ethiopia, 2025.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundPeripheral intravenous cannulation is a common but complication-prone procedure in pediatric care. In Ethiopia, however, there is a critical lack of evidence on the timing and predictors of these complications, hindering the development of effective local preventive strategies.
objectiveTo assess time to occurrence and predictors of peripheral intravenous cannula -induced complications among pediatric patients in Debre Birhan city public hospitals, Ethiopia, 2025.
methodAn institutional-based prospective cohort study was conducted at Debre Birhan public hospitals from March 1 to May 20, 2025. Participants were selected using a systematic random sampling technique (K = 2). The data were collected with Kobo Toolbox and analyzed using Stata-17. Descriptive statistics and Cox regression were fitted. The Cox proportional hazards assumptions were checked both graphically and statistically. Variables with p < 0.25 in bivariable cox regration were included in the multivariable Cox model. The strength of statistical association was assessed by adjusted hazard ratios and respective 95% confidence intervals.
resultOf the 584 pediatric patients included, 35.8% (95% CI 32% - 40%) developed peripheral intravenous cannula-induced complications. The median time to develop these complications was 108 h (95% CI: 96-108). Parental education (unable to read and write) (AHR = 2.80, 95% CI: 1.70, 4.90, p < 0.001), no mask use during insertion (AHR = 2.3, 95% CI: 1.70, 3.09, p < 0.001), performing the procedure without insertion set kit (AHR = 4.34, 95% CI: 2.10, 8.93, p < 0.001), right side of cannulation (AHR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.40, 2.72, p < 0.001), inappropriate cannula dressing (AHR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.02, 2.37, p = 0.025) and blood administration (AHR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.15, p = 0.014) were predictors of time to occurrence of peripheral intravenous cannula induced complications.
conclusionPeripheral intravenous cannula induced complications tend to occur after a relatively prolonged dwell time. Parental education, mask use, insertion set kit, side of cannulation, cannula dressing, and blood administration were predictors for these complications. Therefore, targeted interventions like ensuring mask use, insertion kits, and proper dressing practices may reduce complications and improve pediatric outcomes.
