Practice Pattern Variation in Management of Severe Acute Asthma Among Mechanically Ventilated Patients in Pediatric Versus Adult ICUs.
Article in Critical care explorations, 2025. 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
A large multicenter retrospective study was conducted to examine practice patterns in the care of severe acute asthma in PICUs compared with adult ICUs. Eligible patients were 12-26 y old, admitted to a PICU or an adult ICU with severe acute asthma, and received noninvasive ventilation or mechanical ventilation. Multiple medication prescribing practice patterns were examined. 3,361 total patients were included: 583 (17.3%) were admitted to PICUs and 2,778 (82.7%) were admitted to adult ICUs. Significantly more patients admitted to PICUs received parenteral terbutaline (25.7% vs. 10.2%, standard mean differences = 0.412) than those admitted to adult ICUs. Admission to PICUs for asthma was associated with a trend toward increased mortality, cardiac arrhythmias and duration of mechanical ventilation compared with adult ICUs. Further studies are needed to assess the safety and efficacy of parenteral terbutaline in adolescents and young adults; guidelines for the management of severe acute asthma in the ICU are needed.
