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

Commercially available cannulation phantoms are expensive and primarily intended for adults. We designed and produced a neonatal cannulation phantom using three-dimensional printing. Different operators of varying clinical expertise successfully cannulated the phantom and inserted central catheter under ultrasound guidance. This is a reusable, realistic and valuable resource which can be used for training clinicians to gain practice, thereby improving hand-eye coordination, dexterity, confidence and safety during vascular access cannulation in newborn infants.
