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 describe various infectious triggers for Kawasaki disease (KD) in India.

methodsA series of 10 children with diagnosed infections who developed KD during their course of illness has been presented. They were diagnosed by the American Heart Association (AHA) 2017 guidelines. Echocardiography was done to check for coronary artery dilation. Treatment was instituted as per standard protocol.

resultsKawasaki disease was diagnosed in 8 boys and 2 girls, aged 1 mo to 11 y. These children were being treated for dengue, chikungunya, SARS-CoV-2, hepatitis A, tuberculosis, brucellosis, disseminated staphylococcal sepsis, scrub typhus, and enteric fever.

conclusionsKawasaki disease has been associated with infectious triggers. It should be considered in febrile patients with mucocutaneous involvement or in nonresponsive sepsis, despite adequate therapy.
