Management of Children and Adolescents with Chest Trauma in Pediatric and Non-Pediatric Departments-A Claims Data Analysis.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. 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
backgroundTo investigate the management of children and adolescents with isolated and combined chest trauma in pediatric (PD) and non-pediatric departments (non-PD).
methodsAnonymized claims data were provided by two large German statutory health insurance funds, covering 6.3 million clients over a 10-year period (2010-2019). Data were extracted for patients who had an inpatient ICD diagnosis of section S20-S29 (injuries to the thorax) and were ≤18 years of age. Demographic and clinical data were analyzed.
resultsA total of 4064 children and adolescents with chest trauma were included (mean age 12.0 ± 5.0 years; 55% male). In 1928 cases (47.4%), treatment was provided at PD. Patients admitted to PD underwent CT imaging less frequently (8.1%; non-PD: 23.1%;
conclusionChildren and adolescents with chest trauma are treated almost equally often in pediatric and adult departments. CT is significantly less frequently used in pediatric departments. Patients with a chest drain treated at a UM showed more concomitant injuries without a longer hospital stay. However, the clinical validity of this finding is questionable.
