The Influence of Albumin Level in Critically Ill Children to Length of Stay and Mortality in Paediatric Intensive Care Unit.
Article in Open access Macedonian journal of medical sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe use of albumin in the critical care setting is a very controversial issue. Low serum albumin concentration in critical illness is associated with a poor outcome.
aimWe aimed to evaluate the influence of albumin level in critically ill children to the length of stay and mortality in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, Indonesia.
methodsThe study used an observational method with a cross-sectional design. The population of the study was all patients with major postoperative surgery and critically ill that admitted to the PICU at Haji Adam Malik Hospital from the period of June 2008 to September 2008. The albumin level of the subjects was determined on the first day admitted.
resultsThe group with hypoalbuminemia (< 3 g/dL) was given albumin supplementation according to a protocol in the PICU. The group with hypoalbuminemia have an average length of stay 7.6 days (9.7%) and mortality of 12 subjects (36.4%). The group with normal albumin level have 4.7 days (5.0%) and mortality 13 subjects (37.1%). There was no significant effect of albumin level to mortality.
conclusionAlbumin level did not affect the length of stay and mortality in PICU.
