Hospitalized pediatric drowning in Zhejiang, China (2010-2021): an epidemiological analysis.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundDespite advancements in public health awareness in China, pediatric drowning remains a significant concern with no marked decline in incidence. This study is to explore the changes in the epidemiological characteristics of children drowning.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 296 drowning children who received treatment from January 2010 to December 2021.
resultsWe found that 1-3-year-old male children have the highest incidence of drowning in the afternoon of summer, especially in natural water in rural areas, which are more dangerous than swimming pools. The pre hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) time and drowning time are significantly associated with the outcome of the patient. In children without clear drowning time, our study found that clinical indicators such as Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, blood lactate level, blood pH value, and blood glucose have a certain association with the outcomes of the children. The occurrence of child drowning incidents did not show significant changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic or the national control measures.
conclusionsPediatric drowning persists as a critical public health issue, with rural areas posing the greatest risk. Early rescue and high-quality basic life support are key to improving outcomes. Targeted prevention strategies should prioritize rural water safety and caregiver education, while clinical indicators may aid in assessment of outcomes when drowning history is unavailable.
