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) typically occurs in children aged under 5 years and can cause coronary artery lesions (CALs). Early diagnosis and treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin can reduce the occurrence of CALs; therefore, identifying a good biomarker for diagnosing KD is essential. Here, using next-generation sequencing in patients with recurrent KD, those with viral infection, and healthy controls, we identified dysregulated circulating microRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers for KD. Pathway enrichment analysis illustrated the putative role of these miRNAs in KD progression. Their expression levels were validated using real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Fifteen dysregulated circulating miRNAs (fold changes >2 and <0.5) were differentially expressed in the recurrent KD group compared with the viral infection and control groups. These miRNAs were significantly involved in the transforming growth factor-β, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and cell apoptosis signaling pathways. Notably, their expression levels were frequently restored after intravenous immunoglobulin treatment. Among the candidates, miR-24-3p expression level was significantly higher in patients with recurrent KD compared with healthy controls or viral infection controls (
