The COVID-19 Pandemic Impact on Pediatric Endoscopies in a Single Center.
Article in Global pediatric health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pediatric endoscopic procedures are considered at high risk for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission, as it can be aerosolized during the upper and lower endoscopy. The data on the pediatric endoscopy experience during the COVID-19 pandemic is scarce. Our research goal is to explore the influence of the pandemic on our endoscopy practice. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of pediatric patients ages 1 to 21 years during the first year of the pandemic and compared it to the previous year. We found that procedural volumes were only impacted in the first 2 months of the pandemic and then returned to normal monthly procedural volumes. We also surveyed personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements and pre-procedural screening protocols. One percent of all pediatric endoscopy patients tested positive for COVID-19 during the pandemic year. We demonstrate that the combination of pre-procedural testing and infection control precautions enabled pediatric endoscopies to be performed safely in children.
