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

Background: While pharmaceutical interventions (PIs) serve as safety barriers in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU), their effectiveness relies on acceptance by the multidisciplinary team. Objective: Therefore, this study sought to identify factors associated with the acceptance and refusal of PIs in a PICU, with focus on identifying risk factors for non-acceptance PIs and their association with mortality. Methods: A retrospective analytical study was conducted in a PICU. Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB) and standard Negative Binomial (NB) regression models were applied to determine independent predictors of total PIs, accepted PIs (PIa), and Non-Accepted PIs ('PIna)-stratified into Justified (PInaJ) and Unjustified (PInaUJ) refusals. Results: Of 864 admissions, 565 patients with identified PIs were included with 3091 PIs. The acceptance rate was 72.2%. PInaUJ accounted for 6.8% ( Conclusion: Pharmacotherapeutic risk reflects process complexity and surgical status, not severity. The PInaUJ-mortality link signals team dysfunction during deterioration, supporting risk-based screening and mandatory refusal justification in prescribing systems.
