Viral-associated septic shock in pediatric pneumonia: a retrospective analysis of pathogen-specific risks and comparative clinical features with bacterial sepsis.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. 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: This study aimed to determine the incidence of septic shock in hospitalized children with viral pneumonia, identify high-risk viral pathogens, and compare the clinical features between viral- and bacterial-associated septic shock cases. Methods: A retrospective study on viral respiratory infections in children hospitalized with pneumonia at two hospitals between 2022 and 2024 was conducted, with logistic regression used to assess the pathogen-specific risks. Results: Among 5,956 children with viral pneumonia, the incidence of septic shock was 1.06%, varying significantly by pathogen ( Conclusions: FluA and RSV are the key viral pathogens that predispose pediatric pneumonia patients to septic shock. Rapid viral polymerase chain reaction testing enables early pathogen identification, facilitating antibiotic de-escalation when bacterial coinfection is unlikely and promoting precise, safe antimicrobial stewardship.
