Changes in plasma inflammatory injury factors and their clinical significance in pediatric bacterial pneumonia and sepsis.
Article in Open life sciences, 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
Bacterial pneumonia and sepsis are common severe infectious diseases in pediatrics. The overlapping early clinical manifestations of these two conditions often lead to misdiagnosis. Establishing a precise early differential diagnostic method is crucial for improving patient outcomes. This retrospective cohort study enrolled 126 children with bacterial pneumonia, 116 children with sepsis, and 65 healthy children as controls. Plasma procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and peripheral blood leukocyte subset indicators were measured, and their differential diagnostic efficacy was analyzed. The results showed that PCT, CRP, white blood cell count, and absolute neutrophil count (NE#) were significantly higher in the sepsis group than in the bacterial pneumonia group (
