Phosphate disturbance in critically ill children: Incidence, associated risk factors and clinical outcomes.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundHypophosphatemia is one of the common disorders that develop in critically ill patients. It has potential complications and is often unrecognized in those patients.
objectiveDetermining the incidence of hypophosphatemia in critically ill children, its association with clinical outcomes and the possible risk factors.
methods50 patients were enrolled in the study. Levels of serum phosphate were measured on day 1 and day 7 of PICU (Pediatric intensive care unit) stay. The following variables were analyzed: age, gender, diagnosis on admission, malnutrition, phosphorus intake, clinical severity score on admission OFI (Organ Failure Index) and daily scores PELOD (Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction), sepsis, use of dopamine, furosemide and steroids and assessment of nutrition by z scores.
resultsThe incidence of hypophosphatemia on admission was 42%. On seventh day of admission incidence of hypophosphatemia was 62%. Malnutrition was present in 24% of patients, serum phosphorus level was significantly lower in malnourished than in well-nourished children (
conclusionHypophosphatemia was common in the first 7 days of PICU hospitalization and was associated with prolonged PICU stay, Significant association between hypophosphatemia and duration of use of mechanical ventilation, use of furosemide, dopamine, steroids and β2 agonist.
