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

backgroundThere is still limited data on severe recurrent pneumonia in children, especially in developing countries as Vietnam. This study was conducted to identify the underlying causes and clinical profile of children with severe recurrent pneumonia admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), National Children's Hospital.

methodsThis was a prospective and descriptive study on 110 children with severe pneumonia admitted to the PICU from November 2019 to August 2020. Data were collected to investigate the clinical profile and underlying diseases.

resultsSevere recurrent pneumonia accounted for 29.4%. Underlying causes were diagnosed in 91.8% of sRP children, in which the most common causes were abnormalities in respiratory, cardiovascular system and immune disorders. 74.5% of sRP children admitted to ICU had been previously intubated or ventilated, 34.5% had shock, 7.3% had multiple organ failure. Recurrent lesions on chest x-ray in the same lobe accounted for 18.2%.

conclusionsThe majority of patients with severe recurrent pneumonia had an underlying disease. Comprehensive management is necessary for severe recurrent pneumonia.
