Balanced Crystalloids versus Normal Saline in Children with Critical Asthma.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
There is little known about the impact of maintenance fluid choice in children with critical asthma on clinical outcomes. Our primary study objectives were to determine the differences in the serum chloride and bicarbonate levels based on the receipt of 0.9% saline or a balanced solution. The secondary study objectives included differences in acute kidney injury (AKI) and intensive care unit (ICU)/hospital length of stay (LOS). In this retrospective cohort study, we included 1166 patients admitted to a quaternary children's hospital with critical asthma between 2017 and 2019. The patients were stratified based on if they received 0.9% saline or a balanced solution (Lactated Ringer's or Plasma-lyte) for maintenance therapy. The study outcomes were determined using independent sample
