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
Kawasaki disease (KD) causes acute systemic vasculitis and has unknown etiology. Since the acute stage of KD is the most relevant, the aim of the present study was to identify hub genes in acute KD by bioinformatics analysis. We also aimed at constructing microRNA (miRNA)-messenger RNA (mRNA) regulatory networks associated with acute KD based on previously identified differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs). DE-mRNAs in acute KD patients were screened using the mRNA expression profile data of GSE18606 from the Gene Expression Omnibus. The functional and pathway enrichment analysis of DE-mRNAs were performed with the DAVID database. Target genes of DE-miRNAs were predicted using the miRWalk database and their intersection with DE-mRNAs was obtained. From a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network established by the STRING database, Cytoscape software identified hub genes with the two topological analysis methods maximal clique centrality and Degree algorithm to construct a miRNA-hub gene network. A total of 1,063 DE-mRNAs were identified between acute KD and healthy individuals, 472 upregulated and 591 downregulated. The constructed PPI network with these DE-mRNAs identified 38 hub genes mostly enriched in pathways related to systemic lupus erythematosus, alcoholism, viral carcinogenesis, osteoclast differentiation, adipocytokine signaling pathway and tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway. Target genes were predicted for the up-regulated and down-regulated DE-miRNAs, 10,203, and 5,310, respectively. Subsequently, 355, and 130 overlapping target DE-mRNAs were obtained for upregulated and downregulated DE-miRNAs, respectively. PPI networks with these target DE-mRNAs produced 15 hub genes, six down-regulated and nine upregulated hub genes. Among these, ten genes (ATM, MDC1, CD59, CD177, TRPM2, FCAR, TSPAN14, LILRB2, SIRPA, and STAT3) were identified as hub genes in the PPI network of DE-mRNAs. Finally, we constructed the regulatory network of DE-miRNAs and hub genes, which suggested potential modulation of most hub genes by hsa-miR-4443 and hsa-miR-6510-5p. SP1 was predicted to potentially regulate most of DE-miRNAs. In conclusion, several hub genes are associated with acute KD. An miRNA-mRNA regulatory network potentially relevant for acute KD pathogenesis provides new insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms of acute KD. The latter may contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of acute KD.
