Facial nerve palsy presenting as rare neurological complication of Kawasaki disease: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
rationaleFacial nerve palsy (FNP) is one of the rare neurologic symptoms of Kawasaki disease (KD), associated with a higher incidence of coronary arteries lesions and may be an indicator of more severe disease. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 3-month-old male infant with persistent fever, irritability, and facial asymmetry. DIAGNOSES: KD with FNP.
interventionsThe infant received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) (2 g/kg/16 hours) and aspirin (50 mg/kg/day) were started on the 8th day of illness. OUTCOMES: Fever and FNP resolved within 48 hours after IVIG treatment. The inflammatory markers all improved to normal or near-normal levels before discharge; all infectious studies returned negative. His left facial weakness was unappreciable at day of discharge. LESSONS: FNP associated with KD is an uncommon finding but may indicate an increased risk of coronary artery involvement. KD should always be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of a child who presents with prolonged unexplained fever, even with incomplete diagnostic features, as well as the need to be aware of unusual manifestations, such as FNP.
