Clinical Significance of Nadir Hemoglobin in Predicting Neurologic Outcome in Infants With Abused Head Trauma.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality and is categorized as abusive head trauma (AHT) and accidental head injury. A retrospective chart review of 124 children aged <1 year diagnosed with TBI were analyzed. Outcomes were evaluated at discharge and 6 months later by using the Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) Scale. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to determine the cutoff values for hemoglobin (HB) levels. In the study, 50 infants (40.3%) achieved a favorable neurologic outcome (PCPC ≦ 2) and 74 (59.7%) had poor neurologic outcomes (PCPC ≧ 3). Infants with poor neurologic outcomes had lower HB on admission and nadir HB (
