Experience With More Than 1,000 Cuffed Tunneled Hemodialysis Catheter Insertions Over Four Years at a Single Center.

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
introductionCuffed tunneled hemodialysis catheters are an important vascular access option for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) when arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation is not feasible or when urgent initiation of hemodialysis is required. However, clinical outcomes may vary according to the catheter insertion site.
objectiveTo compare procedural safety, biochemical outcomes, and six-month clinical outcomes among different tunneled hemodialysis catheter insertion sites.
methodsThis retrospective observational study included 1,050 consecutive patients who underwent tunneled hemodialysis catheter insertion over four years at a tertiary care center. Patients were categorized according to catheter insertion site into right internal jugular vein (RIJV;
resultsBaseline demographic and laboratory characteristics were comparable among all groups (all
conclusionsInternal jugular vein access, particularly RIJV access, was associated with superior procedural safety, more favorable biochemical profiles, and better six-month clinical outcomes compared with subclavian and femoral access. These findings support the preferential use of internal jugular vein access for tunneled hemodialysis catheter placement whenever feasible.
