Management of croup.
Review in Paediatric drugs, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Croup, or laryngotracheobronchitis, is a common childhood illness most often caused by viral infections. It is usually a benign, self-limiting disease, but can result in life-threatening upper airway obstruction. Until recently, it was not uncommon for children with severe croup to be admitted to intensive care for intubation. Management used to be limited to supportive measures, including mist therapy. The use of corticosteroids in patients with croup was controversial for many years but has, in the last decade, transformed the management of this disorder. Although corticosteroids do not alter the history of the viral infection, an adequate dose of oral or parenteral dexamethasone or nebulized budesonide has been shown to have a beneficial effect on the symptoms of croup.
