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
objectivesTo study the value of bedside transcranial doppler (TCD) in evaluating the level of intracranial pressure (ICP) in critically ill pediatric patients with nervous system disease in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
methodsA prospective analysis was performed on the critically ill pediatric patients with nervous system disease who were admitted to the PICU of Shengjing Hospital, China Medical University, from November 2020 to November 2021. Bedside TCD was performed on all patients, and pulsatility index (PI) was calculated. Bedside lumbar puncture was performed to measure ICP. A Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between PI and ICP. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the value of PI in the diagnosis of elevated ICP (≥20 mm Hg).
resultsA total of 56 children were included in the study. The top three primary diseases were intracranial infection (24 children, 43%), traumatic brain injury (TBI) (11 children, 20%), and cerebrovascular disease (5 children, 9%). The Pearson correlation analysis showed that PI was positively correlated with ICP (
conclusionsTCD technology for ICP monitoring can predict the change in ICP in critically ill pediatric patients with nervous system disease, suggesting it is useful for treatment options and prognosis evaluation.
