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

Central venous catheter (CVC) line insertion packs contain single-use plastic and metal items that are disposed of after the pack is opened, regardless of whether the item was used. This study aimed to collect data on the experiences and views of Australian clinicians who use CVC line insertion packs in paediatric critical care, elicit possible solutions to reduce waste associated with these packs, and to estimate the potential for financial and carbon footprint savings from a refined pack. This study was performed in two large paediatric tertiary referral hospitals in Sydney, Australia. Clinicians were invited to a survey and an interview to determine if and what items from a CVC line insertion pack could be excluded. Outcome measures included financial costs and embodied carbon emissions (CO
