Thrombocytopenia and Bloodstream Infection: Incidence and Implication on Length of Stay in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

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
The incidence and prognosis of thrombocytopenia in critically ill patients with bloodstream infection (BSI) is not well delineated in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) setting. We assessed these variables in our PICU and sought to determine whether thrombocytopenia could serve as a prognostic marker for length of stay (LOS). The study was conducted at the medical PICU of a university hospital, on all critically ill pediatric patients consecutively admitted during a 3-year period. Patient surveillance and data collection have been used to identify the risk factors during the study period. The main outcomes were BSI incidence and implication on morbidity and LOS. Data from 2,349 PICU patients was analyzed. The overall incidence of BSI was 3.9% (93/2,349). Overall, 85 of 93 patients (91.4%) with BSI survived and 8 patients died (8.6% mortality rate). The overall incidence of thrombocytopenia among these 93 patients was 54.8% (51/93) and 100% (8/8) for the nonsurvivors. Out of the 85 survivors, 27 thrombocytopenic patients were hospitalized for >14 days versus 14 of nonthrombocytopenic patients (
