Early discharge after paediatric liver biopsy: A prospective observational study.

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
objectiveTo evaluate the safety of early discharge after percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB) in children using prospective bleeding risk stratification.
methodsIn this prospective observational cohort study, paediatric patients scheduled for PLB were stratified into low- and high-risk groups based on bleeding history and laboratory values. Low-risk patients were discharged after 6 h, while high-risk patients were observed for 24 h. Outcomes included bleeding complications, transfusion requirements and readmissions.
resultsA total of 167 patients underwent PLB; 119 (71%) were classified as low-risk and 48 (29%) as high-risk. Two minor bleeding events occurred, both in the high-risk group. Only high-risk patients received blood products prior to PLB.
conclusionPre-procedural risk stratification effectively identifies paediatric patients bleeding risk and eligibility for early discharge after PLB. This approach appears safe and can reduce hospital admission time for low-risk patients.
