Comparison of PaO
Observational study in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesTo compare PaO
methodsThis prospective observational study included 200 consecutive children with acute hypoxemic respiratory distress. Serial PF and SF ratios calculated at 0, 6, 24 and 48 h were compared and their trends were utilized for prediction of 28 d mortality. Same was done in ventilated patients using OI and OSI.
resultsSF ratio at admission had a 72% sensitivity and 60% specificity while PF had a sensitivity of 78% and a specificity of 75% for prediction of mortality. The area under the curve (AUC) for SF ratio was 0.82 (CI: 0.688-0.915). Serial SF ratios accurately predicted mortality. OI had sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 95% in predicting 24 and 48 h mortality. OSI had 95% sensitivity and 92% specificity in predicting mortality with AUC 1.000 (CI- 1.00-1.00) at 24 and 48 h post ventilation. Serially increasing OI and OSI trends had an inverse correlation with VFDs (p <0.01).
conclusionsSF is a reliable surrogate for PF and a useful predictor of progression to ventilation and survival at discharge while OSI is a useful marker of worsening hypoxia and mortality in ventilated patients.
