Comparison of COVID-19 Infection in Children During the First and Second Wave.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Concerns have been raised in the media that 'the third wave' will severely affect children. Here, an experience of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is reported. Of the 8,626 SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests performed in children (0-17 y) from March 2020 to July 2021 at the authors' institute, 1470 (17%) were positive, [711/4821 (14.7%) during the first wave (July 2020 to January 2021), and 759/3583 (21.2%) during the second wave (February 2021 to July 2021)]. The children in both waves were similar in presentation (74.1% mildly symptomatic versus 80.2% mildly symptomatic; rest asymptomatic). None of them had COVID pneumonia. Five children died (0.3%), all of a serious primary non-COVID disease. Seventy-three cases of MIS-C during August 2020 to July 2021, with low mortality (2.7%) were also identified. The similarity in COVID-19 infection in children between the first and the second waves seems to suggest that the likelihood of the 'third wave' hitting children hard is low.
