Increased Adiposity Associated With Increased Length of Stay for Infants With Bronchiolitis.
Article in Hospital pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesExcess adiposity upregulates proinflammatory adipokines in infancy that have also been implicated in the pathogenesis of bronchiolitis. The association between excess adiposity and severity of disease in bronchiolitis is unclear. We sought to examine the association between adiposity and length of hospitalization and risk of PICU transfer in children with bronchiolitis.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study examining infants 24 months and younger hospitalized at an academic children's hospital with bronchiolitis, grouped by weight status (BMI
resultsThere were 765 children in the final sample, 599 without a significant comorbidity (eg, prematurity, congenital heart disease). The median LOS was 2.8 days (interquartile range 1.7-4.9 days). LOS increased with increasing ponderal index quartile (
conclusionsIn this study, we identified an association between a measure of excess adiposity in infants and length of hospitalization for bronchiolitis. Further work is needed to confirm this association, examine potential mechanisms, and account for other potential confounders.
