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 new pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 raised new challenges for the worldwide healthcare system, involving the pediatric field since children own certain peculiarities that caused a different reaction to this infection as compared to adults. We report two cases of COVID-19 in two pediatric patients, a 6-month-old male infant and a 15-year-old female teenager in order to underline the age-related differences in terms of clinical manifestations. Thus, the 6-month-old male infant was admitted in our clinic presenting fever, rhinorrhea and diarrhea for ~24 h. Taking into account that both parents presented respiratory manifestations, nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swab-based polymerase chain reaction tests for SARS-CoV-2 were performed, and the test came back positive for the parents and inconclusive for the infant. Nevertheless, the infection was confirmed also in the child by the second test. The symptoms resolved in the 2nd day of admission with symptomatic treatment. The 2nd case, a 15-year-old female teenager, presented to the emergency department with fever, cough and shortness of breath (O
