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
backgroundEffects of myocardial injury on E-selectin remain unclear. Thus, we investigated the diagnostic value of E-selectin for myocardial injury in children of no more than 14 years of age, which determined the scoring method of myocardial injury.
methodsIn this prospective study, plasma E-selectin, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB) concentrations in pediatric patients with myocardial injury (myocardial injury group, n=85) were measured. The control group comprised 80 patients without myocardial injury, and the case-control study method was selected at the same time. The definition of cardiac injury was based on cTnI and CK-MB (with or possibly without abnormal ECG evidence). Diagnostic value of E-selectin for myocardial injury was determined by analyzing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
resultsThe differences between the two groups were of statistical significance (P<0.001). For the 85 patients with myocardial injury, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) value for plasma E-selectin levels was 0.945 with a 95% CI of 0.899-0.991 and the optimal diagnostic cut-off value 29.67 ng/ml (positive likelihood ratio (positive LR=72.5); AUC value for plasma cTnI level was 0.848 with a 95% CI: 0.737-0.960 and the optimal diagnostic cut-off value was 0.155 µg/L (positive LR=12.3); AUC value for plasma CK-MB levels was 0.946 with a 95% CI: 0.903-0.989 and the optimal diagnostic cut-off value 24.26 IU/L (positive LR=72.5).
conclusionsE-selectin is more effective than cTnI in diagnosing myocardial injury as an important biological marker of myocardial injury- an important index of pediatric cardiac injury score.
