Epidemiology and burden of pediatric burns in underdeveloped minority areas in Guangxi, China from 2014 to 2020: a retrospective study.

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: Burns are a significant cause of accidental injuries in children worldwide. This study investigated the epidemiology and burden of pediatric burns to identify the associated factors with these injuries and to formulate prevention strategies in underdeveloped minority areas in Guangxi, China. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 660 pediatric burns admitted to two tertiary hospitals in Baise, Guangxi. Demographic data, burn characteristics, clinical factors, and burden information were analyzed. Multiple linear regression was performed to identify the associated factors associated with the length of hospital stay (LOHS) and costs. Results: 660 pediatric burn cases were recorded from January 2014 to December2020. The median age of pediatric burn patients was 2 years. Winter is the peak period of pediatric burns. Scalding was the most frequent cause followed by flame burns. The median total body surface area (TBSA) affected being 6%. The median length of hospital stay (LOHS) was 9 days. The median cost was 7,558 CNY. The major associated factors for LOHS were the response rate [standardized beta coefficient (SBC) = 0.391], TBSA (SBC = 0.357), operations (SBC = 0.350). The major associated factors for cost were LOHS (SBC = 0.468), TBSA (SBC = 0.306), operations (SBC = 0.215), response rate (SBC = 0.120) and region (SBC = 0.081). The Conclusion: Scalds and flame burns are key targets for prevention among children under 3 years in underdeveloped minority areas of Guangxi, China. Winter is identified as the peak season for pediatric burns. The burden of pediatric burns is associated with multiple associated factors; these findings provide a foundation for assessing the epidemiology and burden of pediatric burns in this areas. Given the central role of caregivers in daily child supervision, addressing their knowledge, caregiving practices, and environmental awareness-alongside consideration of the broader contextual factors-can help foster a safer and more sustainable caregiving environment for children.
