Factors Associated with Intensive Care Unit Admission Following Elective Cardiac Catheterization in Children without a Recent History of Cardiac Surgery or Major Noncardiac Comorbidities.
Article in Annals of cardiac anaesthesia, 2026. 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
backgroundAs pediatric cardiac catheterization procedures become more complex, critically ill children increasingly require postprocedure intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. AIMS PRIMARY: The primary aim was to evaluate the association between patient demographics and ICU admission after elective cardiac catheterization in children without recent surgery or pre-existing systemic illness (acute renal failure, hepatic failure, active infection). SECONDARY: The secondary aim was to analyze associations between ICU admission and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical grade, and Catheterization Risk Score for Pediatrics (CRISP) online model-based precatheterization diagnosis, physiological category, and procedure risk category. SETTINGS AND
designA prospective cohort study conducted at a single tertiary cardiac care center. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included 193 pediatric patients undergoing elective cardiac catheterization from June 2023 to May 2024 under general anesthesia. Postprocedure, patients were admitted to ICU or transferred to wards. Demographic data, ASA physical status, and CRISP-based categories were analyzed for ICU admission predictors using univariate and multivariate analyses.
resultsOf 193 participants, 169 met eligibility criteria, and 27 required ICU admission. Univariate analysis showed that age (P < 0.001), weight (P < 0.01), ASA Grade 4 physical status (P = 0.001), CRISP-based category 2 and 3 of precatheterization diagnosis, and physiology were factors associated with children admitted to the ICU. Multivariate analysis showed weight [odds ratio (OR): 0.816, 95% CI: 0.679-0.980, P = 0.029], ASA physical grade 4 [OR: 2.966, 95% CI: 1.155 - 7.612, P = 0.024], CRISP-based pre-catheterization diagnosis category 3 [OR: 28.304, 95% CI: 1.025 - 781.835, P = 0.048], and physiologic risk category 3 [OR: 6.816, 95% CI: 1.275 - 36.439, P = 0.025] were independently associated with ICU admissions after elective cardiac catheterization.
conclusionsThe results showed that the child's weight, ASA physical grade, and the diagnosis and physiologic categories by the CRISP model may predict the possibility of a pediatric patient requiring an ICU admission after cardiac catheterization procedures.
