Retrospective Analysis of Totally Implantable Venous Access Ports which was Performed using the Patient's Height as a Guide, and the Effect of Catheter Tip Position on Complications.

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
Objective: Totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP) provide safe and com-fortable venous access for chemotherapy. This study evaluates the reliability of Lum's measurement technique for central venous catheter tip positioning and its impact on complications. Methods: Clinical and radiologic data of 297 patients under-going TIVAP implantation were analyzed. The primary endpoint was optimal catheter tip positioning (within 2 cm above to 1 cm below the cavoatrial junction) and its effect on complications. Secondary endpoints included the impact of catheterization site and tip position relative to the carina. Results: Among 297 patients, 59.9% had catheter tips in the target zone, and 93.9% were below the carina. Target zone positioning did not significantly affect catheter occlusion or thromboembolism ( Conclusion: Positioning the catheter tip below the carina and preferring IJV as the first-choice catheterization site may reduce complications.
