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

PIC (Paediatric Intensive Care) is a large paediatric-specific, single-centre, bilingual database comprising information relating to children admitted to critical care units at a large children's hospital in China. The database is deidentified and includes vital sign measurements, medications, laboratory measurements, fluid balance, diagnostic codes, length of hospital stays, survival data, and more. The data are publicly available after registration, which includes completion of a training course on research with human subjects and signing of a data use agreement mandating responsible handling of the data and adherence to the principle of collaborative research. Although the PIC can be considered an extension of the widely used MIMIC (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care) database in the field of paediatric critical care, it has many unique characteristics and can support database-based academic and industrial applications such as machine learning algorithms, clinical decision support tools, quality improvement initiatives, and international data sharing.
