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

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness with multiple extra-pulmonary complications. The multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) is one of its complications that usually affects children and is known as MIS-C, but several cases have been reported in adults, symbolized by MIS-A. Thus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed a working case definition of MIS-A, which includes several criteria. Here we report two cases of adult male patients with clinical and laboratory symptoms consistent with MIS-A. Case one patient presented at a late stage after two weeks post the onset of symptoms. His health deteriorated rapidly, and eventually, he passed away. However, the second patient presented a few days after the symptoms' onset and took a course of steroids. He was discharged home.
