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

objectiveTo determine the risk factors for delayed radiographic resolution in children with refractory

methodsThis retrospective study involved 142 children with RMPP who were admitted to our hospital from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2017. They were divided into a common resolution group and a delayed resolution group based on their chest radiograph series.

resultsAmong the 142 patients, 67 showed common resolution on chest radiographs and 75 showed delayed resolution. Independent risk factors for delayed resolution were a clinical course of ≥11.5 days before the performance of interventional bronchoscopy, mucus plug formation, corticosteroid resistance, and atelectasis. When bronchoscopy was performed before the disease had been present for <11.5 days, the length of hospitalization, total fever duration, and duration of time until disappearance of coughing were shorter than those in children who underwent bronchoscopy after the disease had been present for ≥11.5 days.

conclusionsCorticosteroid resistance, the time to interventional bronchoscopy, atelectasis, and mucus plug formation were associated with delayed resolution on chest radiographs. Performance of interventional bronchoscopy before the clinical course has reached 11.5 days may help alleviate clinical symptoms and improve radiographic resolution.
