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

objectiveTo study the value of amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG), Full Outline of Unresponsiveness (FOUR), and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) in evaluating the prognosis of children with disturbance of consciousness in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

methodsA total of 164 children with disturbance of consciousness who were admitted to the PICU of Children's Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University were enrolled as subjects. According to prognosis, they were divided into a poor prognosis group with 111 children and a good prognosis group with 53 children. The results of aEEG monitoring, FOUR score, and GCS score on days 1 and 5 of admission were collected. The association between evaluation methods and prognosis was analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of aEEG, FOUR, and GCS in predicting prognosis.

resultsThe children with no improvement or abnormal aggravation of aEEG on day 5 tended to have a poor prognosis. The results of aEEG was positively correlated with prognosis (r=0.689, P<0.001), and FOUR and GCS were negatively correlated with prognosis (r=-0.655 and -0.554 respectively, P<0.001). The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of aEEG, FOUR, and GCS were 0.894, 0.903, and 0.840 respectively, and there was no significant difference in the AUC between the three indices (P>0.05), while aEEG combined with FOUR had an AUC of 0.945, which was significantly larger than that of each index alone (P<0.05).

conclusionsBoth aEEG and FOUR can be used as effective tools to predict the prognosis of children with disturbance of consciousness, and a combination of aEEG and FOUR can improve the predictive value.
