Evaluation of Chest CT Scan Findings in Pediatric Patients With COVID-19: A Retrospective Descriptive Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 and Aims: COVID-19 in children presents with varying severity. Identifying characteristic chest CT features is essential for accurate diagnosis and screening. This study aimed to evaluate CT patterns in pediatric COVID-19 cases to enhance diagnostic accuracy. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed chest CT scans of 42 children with confirmed COVID-19 at Children's Hospital, Gorgan, Iran. A 14-item checklist assessed demographics, lung involvement, and radiological features. Descriptive statistics and Fisher's exact test were used for analysis. Results: Ground-glass opacities (GGO) were the most common finding (92.9%), followed by consolidation (54.8%). Both were significantly associated with peripheral distribution ( Conclusion: Pediatric COVID-19 commonly presents with GGO, consolidation, and peripheral lung lesions, with rare occurrence of features such as pleural effusion compared to adults. These differences may refine diagnostic strategies for pediatric populations.
