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

Introduction: Post-pandemic re-emergence of Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective study based on diagnosis-coded discharge records from a tertiary maternal and child health hospital in Hubei, China. Hospitalization records of children aged 29 days to <18 years with finalized diagnosis-coded Results: The analytic dataset included 33,047 pediatric hospitalization records; 16,848 (51.0%) were male and 872 (2.6%) were PICU-associated. Monthly records peaked in November 2023 (2,282), whereas PICU-associated records and rate peaked in October 2023 (99; 4.95%). Respiratory failure/hypoxemia was recorded in 6.6% of the 1-<12 mo group versus 1.3% of the 72-<144 mo group; coded sepsis/septicemia in 11.2% versus 5.9%; and cardiac abnormality/coded myocardial involvement in 25.0% versus 15.6%. Atelectasis and consolidation peaked in the 72-<144 mo group (24.1 and 13.0%). The most common pathogen-related coded co-diagnoses were respiratory syncytial virus (2,096; 6.3%), rhinovirus (2,031; 6.1%), Conclusion: Diagnosis-coded pediatric
