Paediatric abdominal compartment syndrome in a 4.6 kg infant.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
An infant with a history of intestinal atresia type IV repaired at birth presented to the emergency department with recurrent abdominal distension. She was admitted 1 month before for abdominal distension secondary to formula intolerance. Hypothermia and mild respiratory distress prompted an evaluation with imaging, laboratory investigations, and blood and urine cultures. She was admitted to the intensive care unit and management included immediate surgical consultation, nothing by mouth, nasogastric tube placement for decompression and initiation of intravenous fluids and antibiotics. Her clinical status deteriorated within hours, requiring intubation and initiation of pressors. She responded to resuscitation but developed signs of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), prompting surgical decompression. The patient had a prolonged hospital stay and was discharged with total parenteral nutrition and G-tube feeds. This case highlights the importance of prompt recognition of risk factors, symptoms and management of paediatric ACS facilitating a reduction in morbidity and mortality.
