Acute respiratory failure-related excess mortality in pediatric sepsis.
Article in Thorax, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Excess mortality risk imparted by acute respiratory failure in children is unknown. We determined excess mortality risk associated with mechanically ventilated acute respiratory failure in pediatric sepsis. Novel ICD10-based algorithms were derived and validated to identify a surrogate for acute respiratory distress syndrome to calculate excess mortality risk. Algorithm-identified ARDS was identified with specificity of 96.7% (CI 93.0 - 98.9) and sensitivity of 70.5% (CI 44.0 - 89.7). Excess risk of mortality for ARDS was 24.4% (CI 22.9 - 26.2). Development of ARDS requiring mechanical ventilation imparts modest excess risk of mortality in septic children.
