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

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a thrombo-hemorrhagic condition that commonly accompanies life-threatening illnesses in children and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Treatment of underlying conditions, hemodynamic support, and replacement therapy with blood components is the mainstay of DIC management. Limited research studies have supported the use of antithrombin (AT), recombinant thrombomodulin (rTM), and protein C concentrates (PrCC). Although there have been several studies and advancements in the DIC treatment in adults, data in pediatric patients are limited, and the consensus is lacking. Evidence validating the use of diagnostic scoring systems in the pediatric population is also limited. Since the hemostatic system differs significantly in children, especially in neonates, management of DIC is also different in children from that of adults, and there is a dire need for good quality research studies in this aspect. We reviewed more than 100 articles in PubMed, Cochrane database, and Google Scholar. This traditional review article discusses different scoring systems for diagnosing DIC in pediatric patients, and different pharmacological treatment options for acute DIC in this population. This study mainly focuses on papers published from 1990 to 2021 and includes papers in all languages involving humans only.
