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

A 1-month-old child was admitted at our pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in a very critical state with generalized cyanosis, grunting, high fever, tachypnea, tachycardia, severe hypotension with capillary refill time > 5 seconds, and no palpable pulse. The child was apparently doing well until a few hours before admission. On admission to PICU, his clinical diagnosis was consistent with severe sepsis with his sequential organ failure assessment scores of 7 to 8 points. We started rapid restoration of circulation with aggressive volume replacement and empiric antimicrobial therapy. Despite optimal supportive therapy, the patient showed severe liver injury leading to liver failure, making the treatment more challenging. His simplex real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay and enzyme linked immune sorbent assay documented respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. Through our case report we would like to highlight the extrapulmonary manifestations of RSV infections and the importance of liver dysfunction during sepsis.
