Evidence Summary for Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Arterial Catheter Placement in Adult Critical Care Patients.
Review in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Ultrasound guidance can improve the success and safety of peripheral arterial catheter placement in critically ill adult patients; however, existing evidence is scattered and lacks a graded, clinically actionable synthesis. This evidence summary aimed to systematically retrieve, evaluate, and synthesize evidence on ultrasound-guided peripheral arterial catheter placement in critically ill adult patients, in order to inform evidence-based nursing practice. Methods: This evidence summary was conducted following the methodological framework recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) for evidence synthesis. A top-down search was performed based on the "6S" evidence pyramid model to identify relevant clinical guidelines, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials. Twenty databases and resources including UpToDate, Embase, and PubMed were systematically searched from inception until August 31, 2025. Results: A total of 20 publications were included: 3 clinical guidelines, 12 systematic reviews, and 5 randomized controlled trials. From these, 29 discrete evidence recommendations were extracted and synthesized, covering six key aspects: puncture site selection, catheterization procedures and recommendations, comparison of puncture approaches, ultrasound imaging and probe techniques, ultrasound equipment and auxiliary tools, and training. Conclusion: This evidence summary provides 29 graded recommendations for ultrasound-guided peripheral arterial catheter placement in critically ill adult patients. Implementing these recommendations can increase first-attempt success, decrease complications, and improve patient safety. Adoption should be tailored to local equipment availability and clinical context, while adhering to core evidence-based principles.
