Children Requiring 3 or More Days of Invasive Ventilation: Secondary Analysis of Post-Discharge Change in Caregiver Employment.
Article in Pediatric critical care medicine : a journal of the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies, 2025. 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
objectivesTo describe frequency of, and risk factors, for change in caregiver employment among critically ill children with acute respiratory failure.
designPreplanned secondary analysis of prospective cohort dataset, 2018-2021.
settingQuaternary Children's Hospital PICU. PATIENTS: Children who required greater than or equal to 3 days of invasive ventilation, survived hospitalization, and completed greater than or equal to 1 post-discharge survey.
interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsWe measured change in caregiver employment 1 and 12 months post-discharge relative to pre-admission and, when present, change in caregiver identity defined by relationship to the patient. Data were collected by survey. We used logistic regression to identify factors associated with these changes. We evaluated 130 children, median age 6.4 years (interquartile range, 1.10-13.3 yr), 40 (30.8%) with a complex chronic condition (CCC), and 99 (76.2%) with normal pre-illness Functional Status Scale scores. Of 123 with 1-month post-discharge data, 25 of 123 (20.3%) experienced a change in caregiver employment and an additional 14 of 123 (11.4%) had a change in caregiver(s). Of 115 with 12-month post-discharge data, 33 of 115 (28.7%) experienced a change in caregiver employment and an additional 16 of 115 (13.9%) had a change in caregiver(s). After controlling for age, CCC, baseline caregiver employment, new morbidity at discharge, and social and economic index; higher maximum Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 score (odds ratio [OR], 1.19 [95% CI, 1.01-1.41]) and government insurance (OR, 3.85 [95% CI, 1.33-11.11]) were associated with the composite outcome of change in caregiver employment or caregiver(s) at 1-month post-discharge.
conclusionsAt 1 and 12 months post-discharge, more than one-in-five children who survived greater than or equal to 3 days of invasive ventilation had a change in caregiver employment and one-in-ten had a change in caregiver(s). Identification of risk factors, such as illness severity and social determinants of health, associated with a significant family change may improve our support of these families.
