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

backgroundThe hyperinflammatory state of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) predisposes to thromboembolic complications. We report a neonate with multiple cavitary lesions in lung, which we suspect could be a manifestation of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in neonate (MIS-N) following maternal COVID-19 infection during pregnancy. CASE REPORT: Eight-day-old neonate was referred with fever and fast breathing. Mother was positive for COVID-19 in 29th week. COVID-19 reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction was negative, however, antibodies were positive. He had increased leucocyte count, and elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, ferritin, lactate dehydrogenase, and d-dimer along with bilateral reticulonodular opacities on chest radiograph and multiple nodules with evidence of cavitation in both lungs on chest tomography. All cultures were negative. A possible diagnosis of MIS was made. Infant was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) which he responded to with resolution of symptoms.

conclusionNeonates exposed to COVID-19 should be evaluated for thromboembolic complications and IVIG can be one of the treatment modalities.
