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 investigate the correlation between carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), ankle-brachial index (ABI), and coronary artery dilatation (CAD) in children with Kawasaki disease (KD) and to evaluate the effectiveness of CAD.

methodsA total of 68 children diagnosed with KD from January 2019 to January 2021 in our hospital were included. According to the results of cardiac color Doppler ultrasound, the children with KD were divided into a noncoronary artery dilation group (NCAD), with 41 children with KD who did not have coronary artery lesions, and a coronary artery dilation group (CAD), with 27 children with KD who had coronary artery dilation. 27 healthy children undergoing physical examination in our hospital at the same time were selected as the normal control group. Laboratory index of all subjects was measured individually. The carotid IMT, ABI, and coronary artery diameter of all subjects were measured and compared. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between carotid IMT, ABI, and the severity of coronary artery disease. The ROC curve was used to evaluate the efficacy of carotid IMT and ABI in predicting coronary artery disease.

resultsThe ALB of children in the CAD group was lower than that in the NCAD group (

conclusionThe changes of carotid artery IMT and ABI in children with KD have a certain correlation with CAD, and the joint detection of carotid artery IMT and ABI can provide clinical reference value for predicting the degree of coronary artery disease in children with KD.
