Clinical characteristics of pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae in children of different ages.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
To study clinical characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) in children of different ages. We investigated the medical records of MPP patients admitted at Children's Hospital of Soochow University from January 2006 and December 2013. The presence of MP was confirmed by real-time PCR and ELISA. There were overall 3358 children with MPP. 412 (12.3%) were <6 months old. Six months to 1 year, 1-3 years, 3-5 years and ≥5 years old children constituted 423 (12.6%), 1033 (30.8%), 733 (21.8%) and 757 (22.5%) respectively. Fever was less frequent in <6 months old infants, with frequency increasing in older patients. The proportion of patients with wheeze was highest (57.9%) in patients aged 6 months to 1-year-old. Tachypnea, cyanosis and hypoxemia were more prevalent in <6 months old infants (P=0.00). Radiologically, bronchopneumonia was frequent among infants, while segmental/lobar pneumonia was frequent in ≥5 years old patients. White blood cell and platelet counts of infants were significantly higher than other children. Neutrophil count, c-reaction protein levels was significantly different amongst age groups. Our study revealed MPP patients of different ages presented with different clinical findings especially <6 months old and ≥5 years of age, which may indicate different pathological findings in age groups of patients with MPP.
