Risk factors for coronary artery abnormalities in children with Kawasaki disease: a 10-year experience.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis of childhood. Due to development of coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) it is considered the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children. The clinical and laboratory features of patients with complete and incomplete KD were compared in order to identify the possible predictors of CAA development. A cross-sectional study of children with KD treated at the University Hospital for Infectious Diseases, Zagreb, between January 2003 and December 2012 was conducted. A total of 111 KD patients were included; 70.3% patients had complete KD. Patients with complete KD had more frequently rash, changes on extremities and mucous membranes, as well as higher serum bilirubin, aminotransferases, gamma-glutamyl transferase and lactate dehydrogenase levels. Patients with incomplete KD had longer duration of fever before the diagnosis (8 vs. 7 days) and delayed IVIG treatment (day 8 vs. 7). CAA was detected in seven children (6.3%). Disease duration before hospitalization >6 days (OR 7.16, 95% CI 1.51-100.35), age <6 months (OR 25.86, 95% CI 1.68-398.35) and platelet count >771 after the 7th day of disease (OR 13.33, 95% CI 2.19-80.87) were independently associated with CAA development. The diagnosis and treatment in incomplete KD can be delayed due to the absence of major criteria. Age, duration of symptoms prior hospitalization and platelet count were identified as independent predictors of CAA development.
