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

backgroundKawasaki disease is the most common cause of pediatric acquired heart disease. The role of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 in the inflammatory process has been documented. To date, no report has investigated the relationship between coronary artery lesions of Kawasaki disease and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 polymorphisms.

methodsA total of 114 Kawasaki disease children with coronary artery lesions and 185 Kawasaki disease children without coronary artery lesions were recruited in this study. The TaqMan assay was conducted to identify the genotype in this case-control study.

resultsIn three single nucleotide polymorphisms (Leu125Val, Ser563Asn, and Arg670Gly) of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1, we found that the Leu-Ser-Arg haplotype was associated with a significantly increased risk for coronary artery lesions in the chronic stage (odds ratio 3.05, 95% confidence interval 1.06-8.80, p = 0.039), but not for coronary artery lesions in the acute stage. Analysis based on the diplotypes of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 also showed that Kawasaki disease with one or two alleles of Leu-Ser-Arg had a significantly increased risk of chronic coronary artery lesions (odds ratio 3.38, 95% confidence interval 1.11-10.28, p = 0.032) and had increased platelet counts after Kawasaki disease was diagnosed, as compared to those with other diplotypes.

conclusionsThe haplotype of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 Leu-Ser-Arg might be associated with the increased platelet counts and the following risk of chronic coronary artery lesions in a dominant manner in Kawasaki disease.
