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
Background: Currently, domestic and international studies on post-burn complications are limited to single diseases, and a single center or on a small scale. Therefore, this large-scale study aimed to describe the epidemiological characteristics of pediatric burns and their complications in China to notify the occurrence of burn complications. Methods: This study included 11,092 pediatric burn medical records of Futang Research Center of Pediatric Development (FRCPD) database between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2021. General and hospitalization information for patients with the first diagnosis of "T20-T32" [according to the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases, burns and corrosions of external body surface, specified by site (T20-T25), burns and corrosions confined to eye and internal organs (T26-T28), burns and corrosions of multiple and unspecified body regions (T29-T32)] was extracted. Results: This retrospective, large-scale, and multi-center study included pediatric burn cases in the FRCPD database. The prevalence of respiratory infections was 5.5%, shock was 2.8%, hypoproteinemia was 1.3%. In terms of age, children <1 year' incidence of respiratory infections and anemia was 6.9% and 3.2% (P<0.001). The rates of myocardial damage and esophageal stenosis in children aged 15-18 years were 18.8%. For burn causes, respiratory infection caused by hydrothermal scald was 3.7%, flame was 14.7% and chemical was 26.6%. Myocardial damage caused by electric was 8.5%. For burns in the trunk, the proportion causing shock and hypoproteinemia were 24.4% and 10.5%, respectively. Conclusions: Boys, 1-3 years, and children whose hospitals in urban areas were susceptible to burns from hydrothermal scalds. Children aged 4-7 years were susceptible to shock due to flame burns involving limbs or multiple parts. In terms of age, children <1 year had the highest incidence of respiratory infections and anemia among all age groups. The rates of myocardial damage and esophageal stenosis in children aged 15-18 years were highest in different age groups. From burn causes, myocardial damage was the most common complications caused by electric. From burn area, the most common areas for shock and hypoproteinemia were the trunk.
