Mask use in Chinese children admitted to the outpatient department: a single-center cross-sectional study.
Article in Environmental health and preventive medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMask use is a critical precaution to prevent the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in a crowded or densely populated indoor environment. There is still a lack of large-sample studies on mask use in children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsA questionnaire was distributed to individuals under 18 years of age from the pediatric outpatient department from November 2021 to May 2022. Participants who were willing to be interviewed and had good communication and judgment skills participated in our study.
results5053 (a boy-to-girl ratio of 1.13:1 and a median age of 5 years) from 6200 individuals admitted to the pediatric outpatient department were enrolled in the study. The mask-wearing time increased in parallel with age. Children aged 3-5 years wore masks more correctly (χ
conclusionsWearing proper and well-fitted masks could significantly protect children from respiratory infections in a crowded or densely populated indoor environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, mask-associated adverse events, particularly in psychological symptoms, are needed to draw adequate attention, calling for early identifications and psychological interventions.
