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

The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical and laboratory indicators of KD in febrile infants aged less than three months. Febrile infants aged less than three months were enrolled and divided into three groups: KD, bacterial infection (BI), and non-bacterial infection (NBI). Laboratory data were analyzed at two time points: initially upon admission and at follow-up after 48-72 h of admission. A total of 491 patients (280 males and 211 females) were enrolled. According to the final diagnosis, 29 patients had KD, 120 had BI, and 342 had NBI. The infants in the KD group were older (p < 0.001), had prolonged pre-admission and total fever duration (p < 0.001), and had a lower rate of decreased activity (p < 0.05) compared to the infants in the BI and NBI groups. The KD group had a significantly higher level of initial c-reactive protein (CRP) compared to the BI and NBI groups, with a cutoff value of 4.85 mg/dL in comparison with the BI group and 3.32 mg/dL in comparison with the NBI group. Moreover, the KD group had a significantly higher follow-up platelet count compared to the BI and NBI groups, with a cutoff value of 533 × 10
