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 an autoimmune disease that generally affects children under the age of five years. It has a variety of clinical manifestations which may be either specific or nonspecific. Intravenous immunoglobulin and aspirin are the mainstays of treatment. There are unusual circumstances where patients are resistant to conventional treatment. We report a one-year-old girl who presented with a 12-day history of fever in association with erythema at the site of Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) scar. She did not respond successfully to conventional treatment although she was diagnosed to have Kawasaki disease. Eventually, she responded to intravenous methylprednisolone and was diagnosed as having refractory Kawasaki disease.
