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
Autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collections are routinely performed in the outpatient setting and typically involve placement of an apheresis-compatible central venous catheter (CVC). There is reluctance to discharge outpatients with non-tunneled CVCs due to safety concerns. We characterized our center's practice of multiday non-tunneled CVC use in vetted adult outpatients undergoing autologous PBSC collections. No patient with social, cognitive, hygienic, caregiver, or bleeding concerns had non-tunneled CVC placement. All patients and caregivers were counseled about potential risks of non-tunneled CVCs and were provided with basic CVC care education. In total, 117 autologous PBSC collections were performed in 65 adult outpatients via non-tunneled CVCs. Apheresis nursing staff removed CVCs from all patients on their final PBSC collection day. There was one minor CVC site bleed that was successfully controlled with manual compression. In our small population, multiday non-tunneled CVC use in vetted adult outpatients undergoing autologous PBSC collections was feasible and well tolerated.
