Predictors of Mortality in Children Admitted With Pneumonia to a Tertiary Hospital in Ghana: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aim: Pneumonia contributes substantially to the childhood mortality burden in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Reported predictors of mortality in childhood pneumonia in LMIC are varied. This study aimed to describe predictors of mortality among children with pneumonia in a tertiary hospital in Ghana. Methods: A retrospective cohort study that reviewed demographics, clinical features, admission outcomes, and predictors of in-hospital mortality among Ghanaian children admitted with pneumonia. Outcome measures of interest were survival and death. Results: A total of 630 children were eligible for the study; 394 (62.5%) had medical records that were at least 85% complete. 56% ( Conclusion: We observed a high burden of pneumonia in very young children. The predictors of mortality were hypoxemia and diarrhea.
