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
purposeChild protection teams (CPTs) have been implemented in hospital settings to effectively intervene in cases of child abuse. We investigated the changes in child abuse reporting rates and examined whether there was an increase in follow-up psychiatric outpatient visits. Furthermore, we aimed to identify the characteristics of children referred to CPTs and the factors that significantly influenced psychiatric outpatient visits. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed cases of patients under 18 years old who were referred to the CPT from 2014 to 2021. We examined the demographic and clinical characteristics of the abused children, reporting rates, and linkage to psychiatric outpatient visits.
resultsThis study included 108 child abuse cases. The average age was 7.3 years, with the highest incidence among adolescents (40.7%) and infants & toddlers (39.8%). Physical abuse was the most common abuse type (75.9%). In the infant & toddler group, the injuries resulting from abuse were more severe compared to other groups. There was a significant increase in both the number of child abuse interventions and reports to the National Child Protection Agency (
conclusionCPTs have enhanced the reporting and management of child abuse cases in Korean hospitals. Psychiatric intervention within CPT plays a crucial role for subsequent psychiatric outpatient visits. Since the infant and toddler group is more vulnerable to severe injuries, psychiatric intervention within the CPT should be conducted for all age groups.
