Risk factors for invasive mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and mortality in children with severe adenovirus infection in the pediatric intensive care unit: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundAdenovirus infection causes considerable morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients, primarily those affected by severe respiratory system involvement. Although prevalent, it often presents vague indications, making accurate diagnosis and management challenging. This study aims to set some risk factors for invasive mechanical ventilation, ECMO, and mortality in children with severe adenovirus infection admitted to PICU.
methodsWe evaluated 66 children with severe adenovirus infection admitted to the PICU of Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, from 2018 to 2019. Data on general conditions, clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, pathogenetic and radiological discoveries, treatments, therapeutic efficacy, and outcomes were collected. Machine learning models were used to predict the need for invasive mechanical ventilation, ECMO, and mortality.
resultsOf the 66 patients, 5 died, and 61 survived. Significant factors related to mortality included heart failure (p = 0.005), pericardial effusion (p = 0.032), septic shock (p = 0.009), hemoglobin levels (p = 0.013), lactate dehydrogenase (p = 0.022), albumin (p = 0.035), normal creatinine levels (p = 0.037), and pneumothorax (p = 0.002). Additional risk factors for invasive mechanical ventilation included acute respiratory distress syndrome and encephalopathy. Low breath sounds were identified as a risk factor for ECMO. For predicting poor outcomes, including invasive mechanical ventilation, ECMO, or mortality, the random forest model using these factors demonstrated high accuracy, with an area under the curve of 0.968.
conclusionsThe study indicates poor prognosis in children with severe adenovirus infection is significantly related to comorbidities and clinical symptoms. Machine learning models can accurately predict adverse outcomes, providing valuable insights for management and treatment. Identifying high-risk patients using these models can improve clinical outcomes by guiding timely and appropriate interventions.
trial registrationThe article is a retrospective study without a clinical trial number, so it is not applicable.
