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 compare the clinical manifestations of pertussis in children of different ages and different immunization statuses in Wenzhou, and to explore the limitations of diagnostic criteria for pertussis.

methodsThe clinical data of 288 children diagnosed with pertussis at Yuying Children's Hospital & the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from October 2017 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical characteristics of children of different ages and different immunization statuses were analyzed. Their clinical data were compared to relevant diagnostic criteria of pertussis in children of different ages according to the

resultsAmong the 288 children, 124 cases (43.06%) were 3 months old or younger, and 164 cases (288, 56.94%) were >3 months old. Among patients≤3 months of age, cyanosis, three-depression sign, face redness, dyspnea and peripheral blood lymphocyte ratio were significantly higher than those of patients >3 months of age. They also had higher incidence of pneumonia, higher proportion of developing severe pertussis, and longer stay at the hospital. All these findings showed statistically significant difference (

conclusionPertussis in children ≤3 months of age in Wenzhou City were more serious, showing higher rate of diagnosis conforming to the recommended clinical diagnostic criteria than that in children >3 months old. The WBC threshold in routine blood test of ≤3 months old could be lowered appropriately and the current diagnostic criteria still needed improvement.
