The incidence, hospitalisations and deaths in acutely ill children with dysnatraemias.
Article in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
aimThe aim was to evaluate the incidence, hospitalisations and deaths in acutely ill children with dysnatraemias.
methodsThis was a register-based cohort study of 46 518 acutely ill children aged <16 years who visited a paediatric emergency department. Risk factors were assessed using two nested case-control studies.
resultsModerate to severe hypernatraemia occurred in 92 children (0.20%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.16%-0.24%) and moderate to severe hyponatraemia in 131 children (0.28%; 95% CI: 0.24%-0.33%). Underlying medical conditions increased the risk of both moderate to severe hypernatraemia (odds ratio [OR]: 17; 95% 5.5-51) and moderate to severe hyponatraemia (OR: 3.5; 95% CI: 2.0-5.9). The use of a feeding tube (OR: 14; 95% CI: 3.2-66) and intellectual disability (OR: 7.3; 95% CI: 3.0-18) was associated with moderate to severe hypernatraemia. The risk of death was associated with moderate to severe hypernatraemia (OR: 19; 95% CI: 2.0-2564) and moderate to severe hyponatraemia (OR: 33; 95% CI: 3.7-4311).
conclusionsSevere dysnatraemias were more prevalent in acutely ill children with underlying medical conditions and were markedly associated with the risk for death.
