Characteristics and Risk Factors Associated with SARS-CoV-2 Pneumonias in Hospitalized Pediatric Patients: A Pilot Study.

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
SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia in children has a lower incidence and severity compared to adults. Risk factors are adolescence and comorbidities. Our aims were to describe the characteristics of children admitted with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, identify risk factors associated with severity and compare the cases according to the variant of SARS-CoV-2. This was a descriptive and retrospective study, including patients aged 0-18 years hospitalized in a tertiary-care hospital between 1 March 2020 and 1 March 2022. Epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic data were analyzed. Forty-four patients were admitted; twenty-six (59%) were male and twenty-seven (61%) were older than 12 years. Thirty-six (82%) had comorbidities, the most frequent of which were obesity and asthma. Seven (15.9%) patients required high-flow oxygen, eleven (25%) non-invasive ventilation and four (9.1%) conventional mechanical ventilation. In critically ill patients, higher levels of anemia, lymphopenia, procalcitonin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and hypoalbuminemia and lower levels of HDL-cholesterol were detected (all
