1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors for lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in children caused by tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration (TFBA).A total of 351 patients were retrospectively reviewed; all patients were diagnosed with TFBA at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2015 to 2017. Univariate analyses and multivariate analysis were used.Age (<2 years) (P < .001), type of foreign body (plant) (P < .001), shape of foreign body (nonsmooth) (P < .001), and residence time of foreign body (>7 days) (P = .001) were risk factors for LRTI on univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis showed age (<2 years) (hazard ratio [HR] = 4.457; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.031-6.884; P < .001), type of foreign body (plant) (HR = 2.686; 95% CI = 1.577-3.452; P < .001), shape of foreign body (nonsmooth) (HR = 1.649; 95% CI = 1.437-3.663; P < .008), and residence time of foreign body (>7 days) (HR = 1.751; 95% CI = 1.329-3.554; P = .004) were independent risk factors for LRTI. Furthermore, children with LRTI also had longer lengths of hospital stays and antibiotic use than did children without LRTI.Age, plant foreign body, nonsmooth foreign body, and long-term incarceration were all independent risk factors for LRTI in children. These results can help us to select more appropriate intervention times and stratified treatment for children with TFBA.
