Noninvasive Cardiac Output Monitoring Using Electrical Cardiometry and Outcomes in Critically Ill Children.
Article in Journal of pediatric intensive care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Cardiac output (CO) measurement is an important element of hemodynamic assessment in critically ill children and existing methods are difficult and/or inaccurate. There is insufficient literature regarding CO as measured by noninvasive electrical cardiometry (EC) as a predictor of outcomes in critically ill children. We conducted a retrospective chart review in children <21 years, admitted to our pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) between July 2018 and November 2018 with acute respiratory failure and/or shock and who were monitored with EC (ICON monitor). We collected demographic information, data on CO measurements with EC and with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), and data on ventilator days, PICU and hospital days, inotrope score, and mortality. We analyzed the data using Chi-square and multiple linear regression analysis. Among 327 recordings of CO as measured by EC in 61 critically ill children, the initial, nadir, and median CO (L/min; median [interquartile range (IQR)]) were 3.4 (1.15, 5.6), 2.39 (0.63, 4.4), and 2.74 (1.03, 5.2), respectively. Low CO as measured with EC did not correlate well with TTE (
