Insertion technologies for neonatal venous access: a scoping review.
Review in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Venous access catheter insertion is a common invasive procedure for hospitalised neonates. In other populations catheter insertion is supported by evidence-based application of technologies. This scoping review aimed to examine literature about the use of technology in neonatal venous access insertion. Of the 7435 records returned, 91 studies, and 4 guidelines were included. Ultrasound was the most reported technology 81% (n = 74) followed by intracavity electrocardiogram 14% (n = 12). Comparison with gold standard measurement (x-ray) was undertaken in 72% (n = 66) of studies. Studies were predominately conducted on venous access catheters ending centrally 92% (n = 84), with the least studied venous access catheters being short and long peripheral intravenous catheters 7% (n = 7). Guidelines encouraged technology use but noted lack of high-level evidence. Ultrasound has increasing use and utility in neonatal central venous access, there lacks consensus on methods of use and measured outcomes with minimal current focus on the most common venous access catheters.
