Association of Chest Radiography With Outcomes in Pediatric Pneumonia: A Population-Based Study.
Article in Hospital pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveChest radiograph (CXR) is often performed for the evaluation of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the ED setting. We sought to evaluate the association of undergoing CXR with 7-day hospitalization after emergency department (ED) discharge among patients with CAP.
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study including children 3 months to 17 years discharged from any ED within 8 states from 2014 to 2019. We evaluated the association of CXR performance with 7-day hospitalization at both the patient and ED levels using mixed-effects logistic regression models accounting for markers of illness severity. Secondary outcomes included 7-day ED revisits and 7-day hospitalization with severe CAP.
resultsAmong 206 694 children with CAP, rates of 7-day ED revisit, hospitalization, and severe CAP were 8.9%, 1.6%, and 0.4%, respectively. After adjusting for illness severity, CXR was associated with fewer 7-day hospitalizations (1.6% vs. 1.7%, adjusted odds ratio: [aOR] 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.73-0.92). CXR performance varied somewhat between EDs (median 91.5%, IQR: 85.3%-95.0%). EDs in the highest quartile had fewer 7-day hospitalizations (1.4% vs 1.9%, aOR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.65-0.94), ED revisits (8.5% vs 9.4%, aOR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.80-0.96) and hospitalizations for severe CAP (0.3% vs. 0.5%, aOR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.51-0.97) as compared to EDs with the lowest quartile of CXR utilization.
conclusionsAmong children discharged from the ED with CAP, performance of CXR was associated with a small but significant reduction in hospitalization within 7 days. CXR may be helpful in the prognostic evaluation of children with CAP discharged from the ED.
