Characteristics and outcomes of pediatric blunt renal trauma: a nationwide cohort study in Japan.
Article in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 aim of this study was to describe epidemiologic features of pediatric blunt renal trauma.
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis using the Japan Trauma Data Bank over 15 years. We included patients younger than 18 years with blunt renal trauma. We analyzed temporal trends and variations across age groups in patient characteristics, intervention, and in-hospital mortality. We also assessed factors associated with in-hospital mortality.
resultsWe identified 435 pediatric patients with blunt renal trauma. Their median age was 14 years and median Injury Severity Score (ISS) was 17. The most common mechanism of injury was traffic accident in all age groups. Nephrectomy was performed in 3.2%, and the overall in-hospital mortality was 4.6%, both of which showed decreasing trends. The most common mechanism of injury by age group was a pedestrian accident in infants/toddlers/preschoolers (43.5%), pedestrian accident in middle childhood (18.5%), bicycle accident in young teens (24.7%), and motorcycle accident in teenagers (41.2%). Sports-related injury was common in young teens (23.3%) and teenagers (15.2%). Factors such as ISS, shock, concomitant injury, and nephrectomy were associated with high in-hospital mortality.
conclusionsWe described decreasing trends in nephrectomy and in-hospital mortality in pediatric blunt renal trauma and found traffic accident and sports-related injury were common in the pediatric population in Japan.
