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

SARS-CoV-2-associated Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in children (MIS-C) has been described in developed settings that have reported a high burden of COVID-19 cases. However, to date, there are few published cases of MIS-C that have been described in the African region. MIS-C has high morbidity and even mortality without a prompt diagnosis. We report a case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with typical clinical features of MIS-C in Uganda but had a delay in diagnosis. This case report aims to raise awareness among health providers in similar settings to improve clinical suspicion of MIS-C, facilitate prompt diagnosis and treatment, and thus improve outcomes.
