Characteristics and Risk Factors for Pediatric Sepsis.

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
objectiveSepsis is considered a major cause of health loss in children and had high mortality and morbidity. Currently, there is no reliable model for predicting the prognosis of pediatric patients with sepsis. This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics of sepsis in children and assess the risk factors associated with poor prognosis in pediatric sepsis patients to identify timely interventions and improve their outcomes.
methodsThis study analyzed the clinical indicators and laboratory results of septic patients hospitalized in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China, from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021. Risk factors for sepsis were identified by logistic regression analyses.
resultsA total of 355 children with sepsis were enrolled, with 333 children (93.8%) in the good prognosis group, and 22 children (6.2%) in the poor prognosis group. Among them, there were 255 patients (71.8%) in the sepsis group, and 100 patients (28.2%) in the severe sepsis group. The length of hospital stay in the poor prognosis group was longer than that in the good prognosis group (P<0.01). The levels of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group (P>0.05), and the platelet (PLT), albumin (ALB), and hemoglobin (Hb) levels were lower in the poor prognosis group (P<0.01). The IL-8 levels in the severe sepsis group were higher than those in the sepsis group (P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis suggested that lower Hb levels, ALB levels, peak PLT counts, and higher IL-1β levels were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in children with sepsis.
conclusionLower Hb, ALB, and PLT counts and elevated IL-1β are independent risk factors for poor prognosis in children with sepsis.
