1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveWe aimed to evaluate the incidence of and risk factors for mortality in children with mushroom poisoning.

methodsSixty-seven children with mushroom poisoning who were hospitalized at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were retrospectively enrolled. The clinical characteristics of the children in the surviving and non-surviving groups were compared. Variables with a P value < 0.1 in the univariate logistic regression analysis were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated to determine the optimal cutoff point.

resultsThe mortality rate of children with mushroom poisoning was 23.88% (16/67), and the incidence of death during hospitalization was 35.02 per 1,000 person-days. The median pediatric sequential organ failure assessment (pSOFA) score was 1.00 (interquartile range [IQR] 0.00-3.00). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the pSOFA score was independently associated with mortality (odds ratio [OR] 4.92, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.59-62.21; P = 0.040). The optimal cutoff point of the pSOFA score for predicting mortality was 2.00, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.84 (95% CI 0.71-0.88, P < 0.001*).

conclusionsIn this study, the incidence of death among children with mushroom poisoning was retrospectively evaluated. The pSOFA score may serve as a good prognostic indicator in children with mushroom poisoning, and children with a pSOFA score ≥ 2 have a significantly increased risk of mortality.
