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

A 4-year-old child was transferred to the paediatric intensive care unit with acute respiratory failure following 4 days of fever, nausea and vomiting. Chest X-ray on admission had an enlarged cardiac silhouette and transthoracic echo confirmed a large pericardial effusion. An emergent pericardiocentesis was performed at bedside which drained nearly 1000 mL of purulent fluid. Postdrainage course was complicated by acute systolic and diastolic heart failure, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure. A chest CT and MRI were concerning for a diffuse mediastinal soft-tissue density, so the patient underwent interventional radiology-guided biopsy complicated by haemorrhage requiring mediastinal exploration and subtotal thymectomy. Histopathology revealed changes consistent with kaposiform lymphangiomatosis and MRI demonstrated involvement of the lumbar spine and right hip. Following a course of intravenous antibiotics, the patient was started on sirolimus and prednisolone and ultimately discharged home.
