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

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential clinical applications in pediatric patients. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge regarding the clinical applications of EIT in pediatric healthcare. We explore the unique advantages of EIT in pediatric patients, summarize key findings from relevant studies, and discuss potential future directions for research and clinical implementation. However, through a critical synthesis of existing evidence, we identify the remaining evidence gaps and practical barriers in clinical applications, and it is necessary to conduct further research and standardization efforts to optimize the routine application of EIT in pediatric intensive care. These findings may inform recommendations for pediatric intensive care and future research priorities. IMPACT: As a non-invasive, bedside imaging technique free from ionizing radiation, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool for continuous physiological monitoring in pediatric patients. This review systematically examines the state-of-the-art applications of EIT in pediatric healthcare, elucidating the modality's inherent advantages in this population, synthesizing principal findings from contemporary studies, and outlining priorities for future research and clinical implementation.
