Outcomes and predictors of respiratory morbidity in children with neuromuscular disorders requiring respiratory support: a cohort study from Vietnam.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Background: Respiratory failure is a major cause of intensive care admission in children with neuromuscular disorders, but data on outcomes and prognostic factors in mixed pediatric neuromuscular cohorts remain limited. This study aimed to describe short-term outcomes and identify predictors of poor outcomes in children with neuromuscular disorders requiring respiratory support in a tertiary pediatric intensive care unit. Methods: We conducted a single-center cohort study of children aged 1 month to 16 years with neuromuscular disorders requiring respiratory support admitted to a tertiary pediatric intensive care unit in Vietnam between January 2023 and June 2025. Poor outcome was defined as in-hospital mortality, invasive mechanical ventilation for ≥7 days, tracheostomy, or reintubation. Results: Sixty-three children were included. In-hospital mortality was 14.3% (9/63), and 33 children (52.4%) experienced a poor outcome. Nineteen children (30.2%) required invasive mechanical ventilation for ≥7 days, 10 (15.9%) underwent tracheostomy, and 20 (31.7%) required reintubation. Higher Pediatric Risk of Mortality III (PRISM III) score, shock, lower Glasgow Coma Scale score, and older age were independently associated with poor outcomes. Conclusions: Respiratory morbidity was substantial among children with neuromuscular disorders requiring respiratory support. Early illness severity and physiological instability at PICU admission were independently associated with poor outcomes.
