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

objectiveTo explore global practices in vascular device selection, securement, and monitoring for extremely preterm infants, and to assess regional variation. STUDY

designA web-based cross-sectional survey was completed by one respondent per neonatal unit.

resultWe received 848 responses from 100 countries. Guideline availability varied: 85-98% for umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) and 29-97% for peripheral intravenous catheters. UVCs were the preferred initial vascular device at 23 to 26 weeks (70% and 63%, respectively). Transparent film dressings for peripheral catheters and Wharton's jelly stitch for UVCs were the commonest securement methods. Peripherally inserted central catheter sites were assessed at intervals of < 8 h in 56% (434/780) units, and 58% (490/848) units did not use an extravasation injury detection tool. Guideline availability was two-fold higher in units caring for 22-23 vs 24-25 weeks' gestation.

conclusionSignificant global variation exists, highlighting the need for standardized, evidence-based vascular care.
