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
background/purposeCoinfection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae is not uncommon in children with respiratory syndromes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of bacterial and viral coinfection on mycoplasmal pneumonia in hospitalized children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).
methodsChildren coinfected with M. pneumoniae in a prospective study of the etiology of CAP at a tertiary pediatric facility Children's Hospital were enrolled and retrospectively reviewed. The data of clinical characteristics, complications, and outcomes of these children were collected and analyzed.
resultsA total of 59 children were enrolled and stratified into three groups: M. pneumoniae infection alone (n = 31), M. pneumoniae with Streptococcus pneumoniae coinfection (n = 9), and M. pneumoniae with virus coinfection (n = 19). As compared with children infected with M. pneumoniae alone, coinfection of children with S. pneumoniae was more likely to occur under the age of 5 years with a longer duration of fever and hospital stay. Furthermore, total leukocyte count and serum C-reactive protein level were also significantly higher in these children (p < 0.01). However, no significant difference in clinical characteristics, complications, and outcomes was observed between the patients infected with either M. pneumoniae alone or with virus coinfection.
conclusionIn children with CAP, the influence on the clinical outcomes of M. pneumoniae infection may be heavily dependent on the coinfected pathogen. A potential coexistence of M. pneumoniae infection should be considered in children with features suggesting typical bacterial pneumonia.
