Coronary artery aneurysms in children is not always Kawasaki disease: a case report on Takayasu arteritis.
Article in BMC rheumatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundCoronary artery (CA) aneurysms in children are a rare but potentially life-threatening finding and are highly associated with Kawasaki disease (KD). CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a four-year-old female with a vasculitis and CA aneurysms. She had a prolonged course with recurrent fever and systemic inflammation several times upon discontinuation of steroid treatment. Due in part to the CA aneurysms, she initially was diagnosed with KD but due to the unusual clinical course, further evaluation was performed. Abdominal and chest MRI/A revealed diffuse aortitis suggestive of a large vessel vasculitis, specifically Takayasu arteritis. With treatment targeted for Takayasu arteritis, there was resolution of fever and inflammation and the CA aneurysms improved.
conclusionsThis case demonstrates the utility in broadening the differential diagnosis in cases of presumed KD with CA involvement in which the clinical course is atypical for KD.
