Readmission and reinjury patterns in pediatric assault victims.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionRepeated pediatric assault should be a never event. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the readmission and reinjury patterns in pediatric victims of assault including readmissions to different hospitals across the US.
methodsThe 2010-2014 Nationwide Readmissions Database was queried for all nonelective admissions for patients under the age of 18 years. Primary outcomes were readmission or reinjury within 1 year. Results were weighted for national estimates.
resultsAssault-related injury occurred in 46,294 pediatric patients with 11.4% of patients being readmitted within 1 year. Of those readmitted, 35.2% presented to a different hospital. Reinjury within 1 year occurred in about 1% of patients, with 14.8% of those presenting to a different hospital. Age < 13 years, firearm-injury, ISS > 15, female gender, and leaving AMA were found to be independent prognostic indicators of readmission within 1 year among pediatric assault patients.
conclusionCare of children who are admitted and discharged for assault injuries is more fragmented that previously thought. Quality metrics fail to capture this previously hidden population. Our results identify treatable factors which could improve the care of children after assault.
