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

Kawasaki disease (KD) is now a common cause of acquired heart disease in children. Coronary artery involvement is the most serious complication in children with KD. Several non-coronary complications have now been identified in this condition but these are often overlooked. Myocarditis is an integral component of KD and may be more common than coronary artery abnormalities. Pericardial involvement and valvular abnormalities have also been observed in patients with KD. KD shock syndrome is now being increasingly recognized and may be difficult to differentiate clinically from toxic shock syndrome. Endothelial dysfunction has been reported both during acute stage and also on follow-up. This may be a potentially modifiable cardiovascular risk factor.
