Risk of death at home or on hospital readmission after discharge with pediatric tracheostomy.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo evaluate outcomes of patients discharged home following tracheostomy, including the timing and place of death for non-survivors. STUDY
designWe retrospectively reviewed medical records of infants undergoing tracheostomy between 2006 and 2017, within the first year of life for congenital or acquired neonatal conditions.
resultsOf the 224 patients discharged after tracheostomy, 127 (57%) required home mechanical ventilation (MV). Overall, 40 (18%) patients died (65% were on MV); 38% of the deaths occurred at home and 63% at a subsequent hospitalization. Having tube feeding was identified as significantly associated with increased mortality on multivariate analysis. Having a tracheostomy for upper airway obstruction was the only variable significantly associated with increased risk of death at home on multivariate analysis.
conclusionsHaving tube feeding was associated with increased risk of death overall and having the tracheostomy for obstructive airway conditions was associated with death occurring at home.
