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

purposeModern oncological treatment in breast cancer patients requires the precise delivery of chemotherapy infusion into the central venous systems without toxicity. TIVAPS is the significant method of chemotherapy delivery although certain internal or external complications associated with their placement. However, the long-term use of TIVAPS is still a concern to minimize the complications such as venous thrombosis syndrome (VTS) and cardiac defects. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential disadvantages that may be avoided by digital radiography (DR)-assisted measurement of catheter depth pertinent to TIVAPS implanted system.

methodsRetrospective analysis related to 5509 TIVAPS recipients of 99% female breast cancer patients and 1% male blood disorder patients registered from April 2013 to November 2017 were included in the study. Patients with TIVAPS catheter tip depth into superior vena cava into upper (group A), middle (group B), and lower (group C) parts were stratified for evaluation during implantation; DR-assisted measurement of TIVAPS was performed to decipher "tip depth of catheter" and determined the relevance of tip depth to complications such as VTS and cardiac defects.

resultsIncidence of VTS complications were significantly higher in TIVAPS recipients of group A (82.7%) than group B (16%) and group C (0.12%) in which the "tip depth of TIVAPS was deeper" (P < 0.01). Defects in heart function are higher in group C (59.6%) than group A (15.8%) and group B (24.6%) in which the "tip depth of TIVAPS was deeper" (P < 0.01).

conclusionDR-assisted measurement can more accurately determine the depth of TIVAPS catheter implantation, and avoid the incidence of related complications, and provide a better method for surgeons.
