Relationship of severity of hyponatremia and adverse outcomes in children visiting the emergency department.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Mild hyponatremia is often found in patients visiting pediatric emergency departments (PEDs), but there are few large-scale studies on its association with adverse outcomes, including mortality. We conducted this study to identify the association of mild hyponatremia with adverse outcome. This retrospective observational study included children under 18 years of age visiting the PED at a tertiary hospital. We used electronic medical record data from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2020. Clinical outcomes, including ward admission, vasopressor administration, pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission, and mortality, were assessed for the total of 44,147 patients. Among these, 1,639 (3.7%) were in the hyponatremia group, with 1,521 (3.4%) exhibiting mild hyponatremia. Mild hyponatremia was more prevalent in younger patients, particularly in the 1-3 years age group, and less common in females. Patients with mild hyponatremia had a significantly prolonged median length of stay in the PED compared to normonatremic patients (5.8 h vs. 4.4 h,
