Hospitalization in the Intensive Care Unit of Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 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: To examine how sociodemographic factors like age, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status relate to early precursors of ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia), evaluate their distribution among Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) variants, FAB (French-American-British) classification, and comorbidities, and explore associated clinical profiles. Then, assess their significance on therapy outcomes in ICU (intensive care unit) settings. Methods: A retrospective cohort study investigated the association between early detection of critical condition precursors and outcomes in pediatric ALL patients. Data from 188 ICU-admitted children were analyzed, exploring sociodemographic, clinical factors, and ICU outcomes, using SPSS for statistical analysis. Statistical methods included chi-square tests for categorical variables, independent sample t-tests for continuous variables, and multivariate logistic regression to identify prognostic factors influencing ICU outcomes. Results: The study on ICU hospitalization of children with ALL revealed several important findings. Of 188 children admitted to the ICU, 98 (52.1%) were aged 8-18 years and 97 (51.6%) were male. Most participants had a weight ≤30 kg (56.9%) and reduced BMI (63.3%). The common ALL variant was most frequent (76, 40.4%). During ICU stay, 50 patients (26.6%) died and 138 (73.4%) were transferred to specialized oncology care. During the study period, 165 (87.8%) patients had a single ICU admission, while 23 (12.2%) experienced two or more ICU admissions. Male patients were more often transferred to oncology care (80/97, 82.5%; P=0.004). Mortality was significantly higher among those with reduced BMI (26/69, 37.7%; P=0.009) and concomitant diseases (15/33, 45.5%; Conclusion: This study identified key prognostic factors in pediatric ALL patients in the ICU, including gender, concomitant diseases, BMI, relapse, and risk group. These factors significantly influenced mortality and re-hospitalization rates, underscoring the importance of tailored management strategies for improved outcomes.
