Hemolytic uremic syndrome complicating Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundMycoplasma pneumoniae can cause various extrapulmonary manifestations but, to our knowledge, no case of Mycoplasma pneumoniae associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) has been reported. CASE-DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT: We describe a 1-year-old boy with M. pneumoniae respiratory tract infection and associated microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, slightly decreased platelet count and mild renal impairment, suggesting a diagnosis of HUS. Assuming M. pneumoniae infection was the cause of HUS in this case, the different possible mechanisms, including an atypical HUS due to preexisting complement dysregulation, an alternative complement pathway activation induced by M. pneumoniae infection at the acute phase, an autoimmune disorder, and a direct role of the bacteria in inducing endothelial injury, are discussed. The signs of HUS resolved with treatment of the M. pneumoniae infection.
conclusionsHemolytic uremic syndrome may be an unusual complication of M. pneumoniae infection.
