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
introductionTo investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with interventional treatment in critically ill pediatric patients with Intra-abdominal Trauma (IAT).
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of patients younger than 18 years with IAT admitted to a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at a Brazilian emergency hospital between January 2015 and January 2024. Patients with hollow viscus injury were excluded. Demographic, clinical, treatment, and outcome data were collected from medical records. Patients were divided into two groups according to management strategy: interventional or conservative.
resultsDuring the study period, 41 patients with IAT were admitted to the PICU; 35 were included in the study. Most patients were male (77.1%), with a median age of 9.6 years (range, 0.7-17 years), and more than half had Injury Severity Score (ISS) values greater than 25. Motor vehicle collisions were the most common mechanism of injury (68.6%). The most frequently injured organs were the liver (57.1%) and spleen (40%). Fifteen patients (42.9%) underwent interventional management: 11 (73.3%) surgical intervention and 4 (26.6%) interventional radiology. Hypotension on admission and the need for massive transfusion were identified as risk factors for interventional treatment. Two patients (5.7%) died; both underwent damage control laparotomy.
conclusionsIn this cohort of critically ill pediatric patients with solid organ IAT, 42.8% required interventional management. Hypotension on admission and the need for massive transfusion were risk factors for interventional management in this population.
