[Serum level of vitamin A in children with pneumonia aged less than 3 years].
Article in Zhongguo dang dai er ke za zhi = Chinese journal of contemporary pediatrics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo investigate the association of the serum level of vitamin A (VA) with the severity of pneumonia and recurrent respiratory infection (RRI) within one year after treatment in children with pneumonia, and to provide a basis for serum VA level used as an index for judgment of the condition of pneumonia and prediction of the risk of recurrent respiratory infection.
methodsA total of 88 children with pneumonia aged less than 3 years were enrolled as study subjects. Serum VA level was measured on admission, and the development of RRI was followed up by telephone within 1 year after discharge.
resultsThe children with pneumonia showed a reduction in the serum level of VA (0.8±0.3 μmol/L). The severe pneumonia group had a significantly lower serum level of VA than the mild pneumonia group (0.7±0.3 μmol/L vs 0.9±0.3 μmol/L; P<0.05), as well as a significantly higher detection rate of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) than the mild pneumonia group (63% vs 28%; P<0.05). The children were followed up for 1 year. The VAD-pneumonia group showed a significantly higher incidence of RRI than the normal VA-pneumonia group (49% vs 18%; P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in the incidence of RRI between the suspected subclinical vitamin A deficiency (SSVAD)-pneumonia group and the normal VA-pneumonia group, as well as between the VAD-pneumonia group and the SSVAD-pneumonia group (P>0.05).
conclusionsChildren with pneumonia often have a low level of VA, and the level of VA is associated with the severity of pneumonia and the development of RRI afterwards.
