Diurnal Variation and Nursing Perspectives in Analgesic and Sedation Medication Administration to Mechanically Ventilated Children in a Single Pediatric ICU.
Article in Journal of pediatric intensive care, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The primary objective of this study was to determine whether there was diurnal variation in the amount of analgesic and sedation medication administered to mechanically ventilated children in a single pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The secondary objective was to evaluate nursing attitudes and practices regarding administration of these medications. This was a prospective, longitudinal cohort study of mechanically ventilated patients admitted to a single PICU. There were 46 mechanical ventilation courses included (305 paired day-night shifts). There was no significant diurnal variation found in the amount of analgesics and sedatives administered to mechanically ventilated patients. However, the reasons for administration differed between day and night shifts.
