Intraoperative Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Fracture During Modified Radical Neck Dissection.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) fracture is a rare but potentially serious iatrogenic complication associated with intravascular fragment retention and embolic risk. We report a 67-year-old man undergoing modified radical neck dissection in whom the abrupt cessation of infusion revealed a fracture of an 18-gauge PIVC placed on the dorsum of the hand. Ultrasonography confirmed retained intravascular fragments. Surgical exploration under ongoing general anesthesia identified and successfully retrieved three fractured catheter segments within 10 minutes. The patient recovered uneventfully. This case emphasizes the importance of careful intraoperative catheter monitoring, awareness of mechanical compression risk -- including avoidance of placing a non-invasive blood pressure cuff on the same limb as the operative catheter -- and prompt imaging-guided management of suspected catheter fracture.
