Kawasaki disease among Egyptian children: A case series.

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 is an acute vasculitis of early childhood. Its incidence varies among different ethnic groups with higher rates among Asians. In this case series, we presented four cases of Kawasaki disease with incomplete or atypical presentations in Egyptian children. Two cases presented with meningitis, which is not a criteria for the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease. The other two cases presented with pharyngitis and fever, which did not respond to antibiotics. The clinical criteria for diagnosis of Kawasaki disease were either incomplete or appeared sequentially. Coronary artery aneurysms were detected in one case, while the others had normal coronary by echocardiography. All cases were followed in our clinic, according to international guidelines. Early diagnosis and management of Kawasaki disease are important to ensure a good outcome and a high index of suspicion in febrile children is required irrespective of the clinical presentation.
