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

Early identification of high-risk patients is crucial for preventing peripherally intravenous central catheter (PICC)-related thrombosis in children with hematological malignancies. This study aims to develop and validate a clinical risk prediction tool for PICC-related thrombosis. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 519 children with hematological malignancies who underwent PICC catheterization at Tongji Hospital between January 2018 and December 2023. Among these children, 98 (18.9%) developed PICC-related thrombosis. A total of 54 potential predictor variables were analyzed, and six independent risk factors were identified: leukemia, number of catheters, history of catheterization, total parenteral nutrition, post-catheterization D-dimer, and post-catheterization fibrinogen. The prediction model constructed based on these factors demonstrated good predictive performance with the area under the curve of 0.844 (95% CI 0.787-0.900) for the training set and 0.794 (95% CI 0.698-0.890) for the validation set. The calibration curve and decision curve analysis further validated the good calibration and utility of the model. Through the visualization of nomogram, the model can provide strong support for the early prediction of PICC-related thrombosis in children with hematological malignancies and holds significant clinical application value.
