Ability of the PILOT score to predict 6-month functional outcome in pediatric patients with moderate-severe traumatic brain injury.
Observational study in Journal of pediatric surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo assess the Pediatric Intensity Level of Therapy (PILOT) score alone and in combination with Emergency Department (ED) GCS and Rotterdam score of initial head CT to predict functional outcomes in children with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
methodsChildren (n=108) aged 31months-15years with moderate to severe TBI were prospectively enrolled at two sites. The ability of PILOT, ED GCS, and Rotterdam scores to predict the 6-month Pediatric Injury Functional Outcome Scale (PIFOS) was evaluated using multivariable regression models with enrollment site, age, and sex as covariates.
resultsPILOT total (sum) score was more predictive of PIFOS (R
conclusionsThe PILOT score correlated moderately with functional outcome following TBI and outperformed other common predictors. PILOT may be a useful predictor or moderator of functional outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognosis study, Level II.
