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
This study aimed to assess different clinical, disease severity, laboratory, treatment, and outcome-related factors of COVID-19 positive infants admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and to compare these parameters with COVID-19 positive noninfants (1-12 years of age) who also required intensive care admission. This retrospective observational study was conducted in a PICU of a tertiary care, dedicated pediatric COVID facility. The clinical, epidemiological, laboratory parameters, and treatment outcomes of COVID-19 infected infants admitted to the PICU were recorded and analyzed. During comparison with the noninfant group, malignancy and coinfection with dengue and scrub typhus were excluded from both groups. A total 313 COVID-19 positive children aged from 1 month to 12 years old were admitted, of which 115 (36.7%) children required PICU admission. Infants constituted 37.4% of total PICU admissions. Most common symptoms were respiratory (83.7%) followed by fever (60.5%). Fifteen (34.9%) infants presented with shock. Ten infants (23.3%) had myocardial dysfunction. C-reactive protein (CRP) and ferritin were high in 60.5 and 16.7% infants, respectively. Fourteen infants needed invasive mechanical ventilation. Nine patients had acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and five had MIS-C. However, 53.5% infants had different comorbidities. Four infants died and all of them had severe comorbidities.
