Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 score in Italy: a multicenter, prospective, observational study.
Article in Intensive care medicine, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
objectivesTo assess the performance of the Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM) 2 score in Italian pediatric intensive care units (PICUs).
designProspective, observational, multicenter, 1-year study.
settingEighteen medical-surgical PICUs. PATIENTS: Consecutive patients (3266) aged 0-16 years admitted between 1 March 2004 and 28 February 2005.
interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsTo assess the performance of the PIM2 score, discrimination and calibration measures were applied to all children admitted to the 18 PICUs, in the entire population and in different groups divided for deciles of risk, age and admission diagnosis. There was good discrimination, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.89 (95% CI 0.86-0.91) and good calibration of the scoring system [non-significant differences between observed and predicted deaths when the population was stratified according to deciles of risk (chi2 9.86; 8 df, p = 0.26) for the whole population].
conclusionsThe PIM2 score performed well in this sample of the Italian pediatric intensive care population. It may need to be reassessed in the injury and postoperative groups in larger studies.
