The risk factors involved in airway mucus plug in children with ADV Pneumonia.
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe risk factors for mucus plug in children with adenovirus (ADV) pneumonia. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A retrospective analysis was conducted of children diagnosed ADV pneumonia and underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopy admitted to the Xiamen Children's Hospital from September 2018 to September 2021.The patients were divided into a mucus plug group (39 cases) and a non-mucus plug group (53 cases). The children's data including sex, age, clinical presentation, laboratory test parameters, imaging and bronchoscopic data were collected. The risk factors for the development of airway mucus plug were analysed by multifactorial logistic regression.
resultsThere were no statistically significant differences in sex, age, fever, hospitalization days, mixed infection, white blood cells (WBC) count, percentage of neutrophils (NE%), C-reactive protein(CRP), and D-dimer (all P > 0.05); Thermal range, procalcitonin (PCT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Pleural effusion and associated decreased breath sounds was significantly higher in mucus plug group than in non-mucus plug group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05); multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of fever, PCT, and LDH were independent risk factors for the formation of mucus plugs. The critical values of ROC curves were pyroprocedure ≥ 6.5 d, PCT ≥ 0.705 ng/ml and LDH ≥ 478.5 U/L.
conclusionDuration of fever, PCT and LDH levels were the independent risk factors for the formation of an airway mucus plug in children with ADV pneumonia.
