The Network of Pro-Inflammatory Factors CD147, DcR3, and IL33 in the Development of Kawasaki Disease.

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
introductionKawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile systemic vasculitis, but the etiology remains unknown. We studied serum levels of CD147, DcR3, and IL33 in different stages of KD to explore the value of CD147, DcR3, and IL33 in the pathophysiology of KD.
methodsWe measured serum levels of CD147, DcR3, and IL33 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at different stages with 71 KD patients and 66 healthy control children. We apply for network tools GeneMANIA and Cytoscape APP to analyze the functions of these pro-inflammatory factors at the gene and protein level.
resultsSerum levels of CD147, DcR3, and IL33 were significantly increased in KD patients before IVIG treatment. Serum levels of CD147, DcR3, and IL33 gradually decreased over time after the treatment of IVIG. Eight cases were IVIG non-responders, while nine KD patients got CALs, but they did not overlap. And there were no statistical differences between group IVIG responders and IVIG non-responders or between groups without CALs and with CALs. We explored the functions of CD147, DcR3, and IL33 from GeneMANIA and Cytoscape APP and found these third pro-inflammatory factors were coexpressed, physical interactions, genetic interactions with other KD-related factors.
conclusionCD147, DcR3, and IL33 are involved in the pathophysiology of KD, which provides novel evidence for diagnosing and treating KD with their inhibitors.
