Incidence of and Risk Factors for Central Venous Catheter Thrombosis: Results from a Single-Center Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundCentral Venous Catheter (CVC) is a necessary and important tool in managing acutely ill children and those needing complex care. CVC enables infusing venous medication, fluids, blood products, chemotherapy, total parental nutrition, and painless withdrawal of blood for laboratory testing when needed.
objectiveTo identify the incidence and risk factors for Central Venous Catheter-Related Thrombosis (CVC-RT) among patients admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Unit.
methodThis was a prospective, observational, single-center study that was conducted over 17 months from September 2019 to January 2021 at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Jeddah.
designProspective observational study.
settingKing Abdulaziz Medical City, a tertiary care center in the western region of Saudi Arabia. PATIENTS: Pediatric patients aged 1 to 168 months who were admitted to the PICU and required central line insertion (whether inserted centrally or peripherally) for more than 48 hours were included. Screening for thrombosis was performed within day 4-7 post-line insertion and again on the 14th day.
resultsA total of 255 patients were enrolled over 17 months. The incidence rate of CVC-RT was 5.4%. The type of CVC was significantly different between the two groups; in the no thrombosis group, 59.2% had a central line while in the CVC-RT groups, 51.9% had a PIC line (
conclusionsThe current study found that PIC line was associated with an increased risk of CVC-RT, which is congruent with the literature. As children with CVC can have multiple risk factors for developing CVC-RT, it is important to conduct further large prospective studies to identify such factors and decrease the incidence of CVC-RT.
