Evolution of the Concept of Sepsis Scoring Systems in Pediatrics to Predict Mortality and Outcomes.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Sepsis continues to be a major contributor to illness and death in children, necessitating effective risk assessment tools. Incidence of pediatric sepsis in intensive care units is on increasing trend. Over the years, the concept of sepsis scoring systems has evolved to enhance the prediction of outcomes and mortality in pediatric age group. To better identify sepsis and septic shock status in the pediatric age group, various sepsis scores were developed. Properly applying these scores can significantly enhance timely decision making and ultimately reduce mortality rates. Selecting appropriate score should match the settings where they were designed. Scoring system is broadly categorized into two types - prognostic scores and descriptive or outcome scores. To improve care for critically ill children, it is important to develop tools that can better predict long-term mortality and morbidity and identify factors related to intensive care related events. This review article aims to discuss the evolution of various sepsis scoring systems, highlighting their development over time and their practical utility in clinical settings.
