1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: Acute diarrhea in children is a common clinical problem, although practice management can vary. This study evaluates the practice of pediatricians in the management of acute diarrhea in children after implementing the 2019 Thai Clinical Practice Guideline. Methods: Online questionnaires were sent to Thai pediatricians (general pediatricians or other pediatric subspecialists [GPs] and pediatric gastroenterologists [PGs]) from November 2022 to April 2023. This online survey collected anonymous demographic data and practice-related data. Results: A total of 210 pediatricians (179 GPs and 31 PGs) participated in the survey. PGs administered intravenous fluids less often than GPs (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.04-0.38; Conclusion: This survey provides insight into the practices of Thai pediatricians for the management of acute diarrhea in children. Variations in the use of oral antibiotics, antiemetics, adjunctive drugs, electrolyte supplementation, and feeding were observed, which may not align with the guideline.
