Post-intensive Care Syndrome in a Heterogeneous Pediatric Population.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background In this study, we aimed to measure the incidence of post-intensive care syndrome among children (PICS-p) who received critical care treatment in our hospital and evaluate patient characteristics and critical care interventions associated with the development of PICS-p. Methodology We conducted a retrospective cohort review of all surviving pediatric patients admitted to an urban, academic, tertiary intensive care unit between July 2017 and June 2018. Based on the existing literature on PICS, we excluded children whose length of stay in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) was less than four days. We collected demographic data, clinical data, and data related to outcomes in our study cohort. We defined PICS-p a priori as a change in the Functional Status Scale (FSS) score of three or greater between pre-admission and discharge. Using Student's t-tests and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, we compared outcomes among those with PICS-p versus those without PICS-p. Results Of the 183 patients, 36 (19.6%) were diagnosed with PICS in our study. Aside from pre-admission FSS (7 vs. 8), analysis of the two groups revealed no statistically significant difference before or at the time of admission. Upon admission to the PICU, statistically significant differences between the PICS and no PICS groups were noted in the hospital length of stay (33.5 days vs. 14.7 days), ventilation-free days (8.3 days vs. 5.2 days), and the number of procedural interventions (2.6 vs. 1). Conclusions Utilizing the FSS to determine PICS is a viable method to standardize the measurement of functional outcomes for critically ill children. In our single-center, retrospective review, nearly one out of five pediatric patients developed PICS with associated factors that included a decreased pre-hospital FSS score, increased hospital length of stay, fewer ventilation-free days, and increased number of procedural interventions. Significant opportunities exist regarding the social and psychiatric domains of PICS-p.
