Prediction models for refractory
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: Methods: Children admitted to a single tertiary centre with a diagnosis of MPP between January 2022 and June 2025 were enrolled in a retrospective cohort study. Two penalised logistic regression models were constructed from routine admission-day clinical and laboratory variables: one targeting RMPP occurrence across the full eligible cohort (Cohort A) and one targeting corticosteroid escalation within the treated subgroup (Cohort B). Candidate predictors were screened by LASSO-penalised regression, and model performance was optimism-corrected via bootstrap resampling. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility were assessed by corrected AUC, calibration metrics, and decision curve analysis, with nomograms derived from the final coefficients. Results: Of 383 Cohort A patients, 106 met criteria for RMPP. Within Cohort B ( Conclusions: Our study offers a quantitative framework for stratifying children with MPP by their risk of refractory disease and treatment intensification.
