Clinical and microbiological characteristics of bacteremia in pediatric intensive care unit: a retrospective analytical observational study.
Observational study 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
purposeChildren with bacteremia in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) are often in critical condition. Early recognition and treatment by clinicians are crucial to prevent the progression of bacteremia to fatal outcomes.
methodsThis single-center, retrospective analytical observational study included 9,814 pediatric patients in the PICU, ranging from 28 days to 18 years of age. Data were drawn from the pediatric intensive care (PIC) database between 2010 and 2018. Clinical characteristics, organisms isolated from blood cultures, drug resistance patterns, and factors associated with mortality were analyzed.
resultsAmong the 9,814 patients, 630 (6.42%) had bacteremia, and 80 (12.70%) died during their hospital stay. Patients with bacteremia had lower levels of platelet (PLT) count, hemoglobin, potential of hydrogen (pH), arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO
conclusionsBacteremia in the PICU is associated with an increased mortality rate. Clinicians must identify and manage the risk factors associated with poor clinical prognosis early to improve the survival prospects of patients with bacteremia.
