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

purposeThis study aimed to analyze the influence factors affecting catheter-related bloodstream infection, catheter-related thrombosis and catheter-related local complication, respectively, and to explore the relationship among them, as well as the influence of catheter-related bloodstream infection, catheter-related thrombosis and catheter-related local complication on cancer patients' death.

methodsThe clinical data of 605 patients with solid tumors who underwent PICC from March 2019 to January 2020 in a Chinese hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Chi-square test and logistic regression analyses were used to examine the influence factors affecting catheterrelated bloodstream infection, catheter-related thrombosis and catheterrelated local complication, respectively, and their influence on cancer patients' death during the follow-up period.

resultsThe results of logistic regression analyses showed that gender, PICC vascular, PICC tip condition, whether anticoagulant therapy and thrombus location were influence factors of catheter-related bloodstream infection (p < 0.05), however, only whether anticoagulant therapy was risk factors of catheter-related thrombosis [odds ratio (OR) = 7.549, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.9-19.652, p < 0.05]. In addition, surgical history, PICC tip condition and thrombus location were influence factors of catheter-related local complication (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the results showed that after adjusted by all variables, only catheter-related bloodstream infection was risk factor of cancer patients' death (OR = 11.231, 95% CI: 3.23-39.053, p < 0.05). However, catheter-related thrombosis (OR = 0.793, 95% CI: 0.308-2.043, p > 0.05) and catheter-related local complication (OR = 1.815, 95% CI: 0.715-4.609, p > 0.05) were not significantly associated with patients' death.

conclusionOverall, the influence factors of catheter-related bloodstream infection, catheter-related thrombosis and catheter-related local complication were significantly different. Moreover, catheter-related bloodstream infection was the risk factor of cancer patients' death. However, catheter-related thrombosis and catheter-related local complication were not significantly associated with patients' death.
