The relationship between TNF-like protein 1A and coronary artery aneurysms in children with Kawasaki disease.

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) is an acute, systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology that occurs predominantly in infants and children, and the most crucial complication of KD is coronary artery aneurysm (CAA). Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like protein 1A (TL1A) is a member of the TNF superfamily, which possesses the ability of maintaining vascular homeostasis and regulating immune responses. This study aimed to examine serum TL1A levels in KD patients, and to investigate the relationship between TL1A and CAAs in children with KD. Blood samples were recruited from 119 KD patients, 35 febrile controls (FCs), and 37 healthy controls (HCs). The KD group was further divided into KD with CAAs (KD-CAAs) and KD non-CAAs (KD-NCAAs) groups. Serum TL1A levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and clinical parameters were collected from KD patients. Serum TL1A levels of KD patients in the acute phase of KD were significantly higher than in the FC and HC groups. In particular, serum TL1A levels were substantially increased in the KD-CAA group compared with the KD-NCAA group. Furthermore, TL1A levels in the KD group were positively correlated with the duration of fever and the time point of IVIG and WBC levels, but negatively correlated with levels of RBC, Hb and albumin. TL1A might be involved in KD-associated vasculitis and in the development of CAAs.
