Characteristics of adolescents requiring intensive care in the United Kingdom: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of the Intensive Care Society, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 describe the case mix, resource use and outcomes for adolescents admitted to intensive care units in the UK.
methodsAnalysis of national prospectively collected data for all adolescents aged 12-19 years admitted to UK adult or paediatric intensive care units.
resultsThere were 37,320 admissions of adolescents during the eight-year study period. Excluding elective surgery, respiratory diagnoses were the most common reason for paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission, with trauma and intoxication the most common reasons for adult intensive care unit (AICU) admission. Intensive care unit mortality was 6.0% and 5.7% for those admitted to PICUs and AICUs, respectively.
conclusionsMortality is similar among adolescents admitted to AICUs and PICUs; however, these rates have not been corrected for severity of acute illness or underlying burden of chronic illness, which may be different between AICUs and PICUs. Services planned for the majority of AICU and PICU patients may not be optimal for critically ill adolescents treated in UK intensive care units, who may need special consideration.
