The relationship between demographic factors and syncopal symptom in pediatric vasovagal syncope.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This research proposed to retrospectively analyze 20 years of clinical data and investigate the relationship between demographic factors and syncopal symptom in pediatric vasovagal syncope. A total of 2513 children, 1124 males and 1389 females, age range 3-18 years, who presented to Department of Pediatric Cardiovasology, Children's Medical Center, The Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University with unexplained syncope or pre-syncope and were diagnosed with vasovagal syncope were retrospectively collected and divided into syncope group (n = 1262) and pre-syncope group (n = 1251). (1) Females had a 36% increased risk of syncope compared to males, a 27% increased risk of syncope for every 1-year increase in age, and a 2% decreased risk of syncope for every 1 cm increase in height. (2) A non-linear relationship between age, height, weight and syncope was observed. When age > 10.67 years, the risk of syncope increases by 45% for each 1-year increase in age; when height < 146 cm, the risk of syncope decreases by 4% for each 1 cm increase in height; when weight < 28.5 kg, the risk of syncope decreases by 10% for each 1 kg increase in weight. Demographic factors are strongly associated with syncopal symptom in pediatric vasovagal syncope and can help to predict the risk.
