Review in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are used commonly for the treatment of various pediatric inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Although potent and generally effective, they are not without risks for producing serious adverse effects, especially when used in high doses for prolonged periods of time. For proper use of systemic glucocortcoids, a basic knowledge of the pharmacology, clinical usage guidelines, and adverse reactions of these agents is imperative. This review article emphasis on the commonly observed side-effects encountered with GC use in children and their underlying basic pathophysiological mechanisms. The appropriate anticipation of these side-effects with timely implementation of the suggested evidencebased guidelines has the potential significantly to prevent, minimize and treat common and disabling complications of glucocortcoid therapy.
