Clinical Epidemiology of Pediatric COVID-19 Delta Variant Cases From North Sumatra, Indonesia.

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
The Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) dominated the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in 2021. Here we report the Delta variant among pediatric cases in North Sumatra, Indonesia, from June to July 2021. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) from 18 new COVID-19 pediatric patients showed that six were B.1.459 and six were B.1.466.2, known variants in Indonesia in clade 20A. Six were the Delta variant B.1.617.2 of clade 21A, with five on one branch and one on a distant branch consistent with that patient's geographic separation, suggesting at least two introductions to the region. Variants tended to be spatially clustered, and four children with Delta variant had an adult infected household member, all of whom had lower real-time polymerase chain reaction cycle threshold (Ct) values compared with the child. No temporal trends were observed for Ct. These data support a paradigm shift with children being highly susceptible to the Delta variant and a priority for vaccination.
