The value of prognostic markers for pediatric trauma patients.
Article in World journal of emergency medicine, 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
backgroundDespite the rapid development of pediatric intensive care medicine, there are still limited data in the literature regarding the follow-up of pediatric trauma patients in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). In this study, we aim to evaluate our experience with children admitted and followed up with the diagnosis of trauma at our PICU.
methodsWe evaluated the retrospective data of 77 pediatric trauma patients who were admitted to the PICU at Sancaktepe Sehit Prof. Dr. IlhanVarank Training and Research Hospital from August 2020 to December 2022. The demographic data, clinical parameters and laboratory results were recorded. The primary outcome was the mortality in PICU. The performances of markers in predicting mortality were evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
resultsThe median age of the patients was 70 (33-157) months, and the median duration of hospitalization in the PICU was 6 (2-11) d. Of the 77 patients, 9 died due to trauma (11,1%). Among the clinical parameters, Pediatric Risk of Mortality III (PRISM III) Score, inotrope requirement, extracorporeal treatment requirement, and mechanical ventilator requirement were significantly higher in non-survivors than in survivors. Among the laboratory parameters, procalcitonin (PCT), lactate/albumin ratio (LAR), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and transfusion requirement were significantly higher in non-survivors than in survivors.
conclusionIn pediatric trauma patients, baseline PCT, LAR, and NLR values can be used to identify patients at risk for mortality.
