Vascular imaging findings with high-pitch low-dose dual-source CT in atypical Kawasaki disease.
Article in Diagnostic and interventional radiology (Ankara, Turkey), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeDetermining the presence of aneurysms, thrombosis, and stenosis is very important for the diagnosis of atypical Kawasaki disease (AKD) and in the follow-up of AKD patients with aneurysms. We aimed to demonstrate high-pitch low-dose dual-source computed tomography (CT) angiography findings in pediatric patients with AKD.
methodsOver a 5-year period, high-pitch low-dose CT angiography was performed to determine vascular aneurysms or occlusions in 17 patients who had suspected AKD. The patients ranged from 2 months of age to 11.3 years, with a mean age of 3 years. The American Heart Association's criteria were used to diagnose AKD.
resultsWe did not detect any vascular problems in 6 of the patients, and they were not included in our study. Arterial aneurysms were present in 11 patients (aged 2 months to 11.3 years; mean age, 4.2 years; 7 males). In one patient, there was also a thrombus at an arterial aneurysm. Coronary artery aneurysms were detected in 7 patients and systemic artery aneurysms were detected in 7 patients. Three patients had both systemic and coronary aneurysms.
conclusionOur results suggest that high-pitch low-dose dual-source CT can detect all types of aneurysms, stenosis and occlusions of vessels in patients with AKD who were not previously diagnosed. This useful, easy, robust and fast technique may be preferred to diagnose AKD.
