Clinical outcomes of pediatric burn injuries: A Single Center Study.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 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 Objective: Burn is the leading cause of mortality and disability adjusted life years worldwide, where majority occur in low- and middle- income countries. Children under five years are particularly susceptible due to household accidents. Despite the establishment of a global burn registry, there are significant discrepancies in reported data of burn. Our aim was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of pediatric burn injuries, assess the frequency of healing and its correlation with demographic and clinical variables. Methodology: It is an observational, descriptive, longitudinal study, conducted in Allied Burn and Reconstructive Surgery Center, Faisalabad from September 2025 to December 2025. Data was collected prospectively via specialized proforma, and statistical analysis was done using SPSS 25. Results: One hundred and four patients reported with male predominance (54.8%). Mean age of presentation was 4.16 years with standard deviation of 3.01 years (range two months to 12 years). Majority lie under five years of age (74.5%). Scald burn was the most common etiology (80.8%). Mean total body surface area (TBSA%) was 16.13%. Out of 104 patients, 74 patients (71.1%) achieved healing successfully. 53.8%(n=56) healed conservatively while 17.3%(n=18) needed surgical intervention. Mechanism of burn demonstrated significant correlation with healing pattern as scald burn had greater propensity of healing conservatively (82.2%) while majority of flame (57.2%) and electric burn (75%) required surgical intervention for healing. Conclusion: Majority of burns happen due to scald incidents. However; it has shown greater healing potential and better overall outcomes as compared to other types of burn. Early assessment and diagnosis of mechanism and severity of burn can help in timely decision-making regarding better suited treatment options which is essential to improve healing outcomes in pediatric burn.
