Epidemiology and outcome of 1442 pediatric burn patients: A single-center experience.
Article in Ulusal travma ve acil cerrahi dergisi = Turkish journal of trauma & emergency surgery : TJTES, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundBurns are common injuries among children resulting with significant mortality and morbidity, especially in developing countries. Epidemiological data may guide for the preventive measures and contribute reducing the incidence of burns in children. The aim of this study is to report the epidemiological features of pediatric burn patients treated in a tertiary burn center and to suggest preventive measures.
methodsBetween January 1, 2015, and June 30, 2019, a total of 1442 children hospitalized in our burn center were evaluated retrospectively. Demographic, epidemiological, and clinical data including burn etiology, percentage of burned total body surface area (TBSA), hospital stay, infection, and mortality rate were reported.
resultsThe percentage of burned TBSA was 11.23±10.70 and the length of hospital stay was 14.38±18.1 days. In total, 89.18% of the patients (n=1286) experienced burn injury indoors. With regard to the etiology, scalding with hot water and tea was the most common in all age groups. Flame burn incidence increases after infancy, and electrical burns occur more in school age. A total of 10 patients (0.69%) were died and seven of them were delayed referrals from other hospitals.
conclusionInfants and males consist of the majority of our pediatric burn patients. The percentage of burned TBSA and length of hospital stay increased as the patient age increased. Childhood burn injuries are mainly scald burns that occur indoors, while their parents were nearby. Therefore, education programs focusing on primary prevention addressing family members are required to avoid pediatric burns.
