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

Fever is the most common complaint for a child to visit hospital. Under the aegis of INDO-US Emergency and Trauma Collaborative, Pediatric Emergency Medicine chapter of Academic College of Emergency Experts in India developed evidence-based consensus for evaluation and management of febrile child in emergency department. An extensive literature search and further online communication of the group led to the development of a detailed approach for the evaluation and management of individual conditions associated with fever. To develop an approach to individual conditions presenting with fever, that is, best suited to the epidemiology prevalent in India. The algorithmic approach given by the group describes in details the evaluation and management of specialized and individual conditions like fever and immunocompromised state, fever with localizing signs that include fever with seizures, cough, ear discharge, loose stools, rash and dysuria; fever without localization with epidemiological evidence supporting diagnosis such as malaria, enteric fever and dengue; and fever without any localization and no epidemiological evidence supporting the diagnosis.
