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

BACKGROUND Arterial injury during central venous catheterization (CVC) occurs in 0.1% to 2.7% of cases and can lead to serious complications, such as arterial occlusion, embolism, pseudoaneurysm, vessel rupture, and life-threatening hemorrhage. These risks are particularly concerning in critically ill patients, especially those receiving anticoagulation or with acute coagulopathy. CASE REPORT We report the case of an 81-year-old woman with a complex medical history, including chronic heart failure, atrial fibrillation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and chronic kidney disease, whose left subclavian artery was accidentally punctured during central venous catheterization (CVC). The injury was managed successfully by removing the catheter and performing percutaneous arterial closure. The repair involved image-guided percutaneous vascular suturing, using fluoroscopy and real-time contrast imaging. Before the procedure, color Doppler ultrasonography was used to assess the injury's size and location, while CT angiography evaluated the surrounding vasculature for complications, including arterial rupture or significant bleeding. The postoperative recovery was uneventful, with no signs of pseudoaneurysm or arteriovenous fistula. The patient maintained stable hemodynamics throughout the recovery period and exhibited no signs of further vascular complications. CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous suturing is a safe and effective method for managing mild arterial injuries during central venous catheterization (CVC), especially in patients with complex comorbidities. This approach provides precise hemostasis, minimizes vascular trauma, and offers a minimally invasive solution to prevent significant complications, ensuring a smooth recovery.
