Prognostic value of carboxyhemoglobin in pediatric intensive care unit.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. 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
Objectives: To determine the carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels of the patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit and investigate its relationship with prognosis. Methods: This retrospective observational study included patients aged one month to 18 years admitted to Mersin University Hospital pediatric intensive care unit from January 2020 to January 2021. Demographic characteristics, hospitalization causes, PRISM III, PELOD scores, hospitalization length, mechanical ventilation supports, transfusion needs, lactate and, SpCO levels of all patients were determined. SpCO levels of the excitus and surviving patients were compared, and the relationship with mortality was investigated. Results: Total 365 patients were included in the study. The median carboxyhemoglobin level of the excitus patients was statistically significantly higher when compared to the level of the surviving patients [(1.8(1.4-2,4) vs 0.65(0-1) p<0.001]). For mortality prediction, the cut-off point for SpCO, which was determined with 100% sensitivity and 96.5% specificity, was calculated as 1.3. Conclusion: Since SpCO levels are increased in critically ill children and correlate with increased PICU mortality, SpCO may be a predictive marker for prognosis in PICU.
