Analysis of the Spectrum and Characteristics of Pediatric Cancer Based on Hospital Information Systems in China.

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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to use the hospital information system to analyze the cancer profile and compare demographics, hospitalization, status of surgery and treatment cost of various cancer categories based on the electronic health record (EHR) of outpatient children with tumors in Shanghai, China. PATIENTS AND
methodsInformation was collected from 3834 inpatients aged 0-18 who were diagnosed with malignant tumors in all 17 hospitals with pediatric wards in the Pudong New District of Shanghai from 2011 to 2016. All patients were classified according to the International Classification of Childhood Cancer-3 (ICCC-3). The chi-squared test was used to compare demographics, hospitalization information, status of surgery and treatment cost according to inpatients' cancer category.
resultsIn both the malignant non-solid tumor and solid tumor groups, males and those aged 0-4 years were the dominant groups. Lymphocytic leukemia was the most common cancer in all inpatients (n=994, 25.93%), and the acute myeloid leukemia had the longest length of stay of inpatients (median=26.00 days). In both the non-solid and solid tumor groups, patients who received only one type of surgery had an advantage. The highest proportion of patients who had undergone surgery was found in non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients. In terms of total cost, surgical cost and medicine cost, the expenditure of central nervous system tumor patients was the highest. Astrocytoma had the highest total cost.
conclusionLeukemia is common in children with cancer in Pudong and should be given attention. Because the highest financial burden falls on patients with central nervous system tumors and acute myeloid leukemias, the government should take immediate and targeted measures for these cancers in particular.
