Serum resistin concentrations in children with Kawasaki disease.
Article in Inflammation research : official journal of the European Histamine Research Society ... [et al.], 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
objectiveHuman resistin is expressed strongly in monocytes or macrophages rather than in adipocytes and may play a pivotal role in inflammation. We hypothesize that resistin levels are elevated in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) in the acute phase and may be associated with the disease severity. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: Serum resistin concentrations were measured in 44 Japanese children with KD and 17 age-matched healthy children. All the KD patients were given both aspirin and a single dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).
resultsThe serum resistin levels at baseline in KD children were significantly higher than those in controls [33.0 (21.6-45.3) vs. 14.8 (12.4-18.6) ng/mL, P < 0.001]. After IVIG therapy, serum resistin levels were significantly decreased to normal control levels. No significant difference in baseline resistin levels was found between the high-risk group and the low-risk group of coronary artery aneurysms.
conclusionsWe confirmed that resistin was an acute inflammatory protein, but its concentrations were unlikely to predict the prognosis of disease in acute KD patients.
