The severity of pediatric COVID-19 during hospitalization is not associated with mortality within six months of discharge.

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
backgroundCOVID-19 has become a global pandemic. However, studies examining the outcomes for pediatric patients after hospital discharge, post-COVID-19, and the predictive factors influencing their high mortality rates, are still limited, especially in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the predictor that predict mortality six months after hospitalization for COVID-19.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was performed. The participants were children who were admitted to Dr. Sardjito General Hospital from February-April 2022. The inclusion criteria were pediatric patients who were hospitalized in the pediatric ward and discharged after recovering or completing isolation. COVID-19 hospitalization deaths and incomplete medical records were omitted from the study. Bivariate analysis was performed with chi-square log rank test. Kaplan-Meier method was used for calculating the cumulative survival between comparison groups of the predictor variables. Multivariate analysis was performed with a Cox regression. The relationships between the variables are presented as the Hazard ratios (HRs), confidence intervals of 95% (95%CI), and statistical significance levels, with p < 0.05.
resultsAmong the 114 patients studied, the mortality rate during the six months after COVID-19 was 29.8%. The multivariate analysis revealed that mortality was correlated with comorbidities (p < 0.021; HR 11.415; CI 95% 1.449-89.912) and obesity (p = 0.032; HR 4.617; CI 95% 1.139-18.721).
conclusionThe presence of comorbidities and obesity are significant predictors of mortality in pediatric patients with COVID-19 within six months following hospital discharge. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
