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

The transmanubrial approach (TMA) offers great exposure for managing complex superior mediastinal pathology while preserving functional anatomy. Here, we report a case of extravascular perforation caused by peripherally inserted central catheter with mediastinal abscess formation, which was successfully treated using a TMA. A 76-year-old woman developed a fever 3 months after the insertion of a peripherally inserted central catheter for parenteral nutrition. Imaging showed catheter tip migration with venous perforation, accompanied by abscess formation in the superior mediastinum. Owing to the anatomical difficulty in accessing this region, TMA was performed to remove the catheter and drain the abscess. The TMA provides optimal access while preserving neck and shoulder mobility, making it a suitable surgical option in older, frail patients.
