1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: Plastic bronchitis (PB) in children is a critical condition requiring prompt intervention. Early identification of high-risk patients is crucial for timely bronchoscopic management. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel nomogram model for the early prediction of PB risk in pediatric patients. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from children with respiratory conditions. The cohort was divided into a training set ( Results: Multivariate analysis identified seven independent predictors of PB: elder age, longer cough duration, Conclusion: We successfully developed and validated a practical nomogram incorporating seven readily available clinical parameters. This model serves as a reliable and non-invasive tool for the early assessment of PB risk in children, potentially facilitating timely clinical decision-making and intervention.
