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

backgroundPneumonia is a common infection of the lung parenchyma in children, and early and accurate diagnosis of childhood pneumonia (CP) is important for implementing appropriate preventive and treatment strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of the combination of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) RP11-248E9.5, RP11-456D7.1, c-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in CP. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 50 healthy children (HC) and 100 CP patients were enrolled. The serum expression of RP11-248e9.5 and RP11-456d7.1 was detected by qRT-PCR. The white blood cell (WBC), hemoglobin (HB), platelet (PLT), neutrophil, and lymphocyte were analyzed by automated hematology analyzer. The serum levels of CRP and procalcitonin (PCT) were analyzed by automatic biochemical analyzer. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to evaluate the diagnostic value in CP.

resultsThe NLR and PLR, expression of RP11-248E9.5 and RP11-456D7.1, and serum levels of CRP and PCT were significantly higher in the CP group than those in the HC group. Both RP11-248E9.5 (AUC, 0.86; sensitivity, 84%; specificity, 78%) and RP11-456D7.1 (AUC, 0.89; sensitivity, 79%; specificity, 92%) exhibited certain diagnostic value in CP. The diagnostic values of PCT, CRP, NLR and PLR in CP were limited by low sensitivity (≤ 71%). The combination of multiple indicators improved the diagnostic value. The combination of RP11-248E9.5, RP11-456D7.1, CRP, NLR, and PLR had the best diagnostic value in CP (AUC, 0.992; Sensitivity, 0.97; Specificity, 0.99).

conclusionThe combination of RP11-248E9.5, RP11-456D7.1, CRP, NLR, and PLR was a potential diagnostic strategy for CP.
