1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveKawasaki disease (KD) is the most commonly encountered inflammatory disease in children. However, its pathogenesis and diagnostic biomarkers have not been fully investigated. We examined the activation of neutrophils and monocytes in KD.

methodsWe studied the expression of the Fcγ-receptors CD64 and CD16 on neutrophils and monocytes in KD before and after the treatment with intravenous infusion of high dose immunoglobulin (IVIG). Bacterial infections were addressed as well.

resultsCD64 expression on neutrophils and monocytes was dramatically increased at the onset of KD flare-ups, but later decreased just after IVIG. Similarly, CD16-positive monocytes were observed at the onset and were less apparent after therapy. The addition of immunoglobulin did not block the expression of CD64 or CD16 in vitro. Serum G-CSF in the majority of patients, and IFN-γ in some patients, were elevated during flares but decreased after treatment.

conclusionOur findings demonstrate that remarkable CD64 expression during KD flare-ups may serve as a biomarker for diagnosis. Evaluation of CD64 is also potentially useful for the determination of treatment efficacy in KD.
