Kawasaki disease following immunization reported to the Canadian Immunization Monitoring Program ACTive (IMPACT) from 2013 to 2018.

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
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis primarily affecting children younger than 5 y of age that has been reported as an adverse event following immunization (AEFI). The Canadian Immunization Monitoring Program ACTive (IMPACT) conducts active surveillance for KD following immunization across Canada. We characterized KD cases reported to IMPACT between 2013 and 2018. Cases admitted to an IMPACT hospital with a physician diagnosis of complete or incomplete KD with onset 0-42 d following vaccination were reviewed. Cases meeting the Brighton Collaboration case definition (BCCD) levels of diagnostic certainty levels 1 a/b, 2a/b or 3a-e were defined as KD cases. Demographic and vaccination characteristics were compared between KD cases and non-cases. Of 84 cases reviewed, 58 met the BCCD: 47 (81%) cases met level 1a (Complete KD), 8 (14%) met level 1b (Incomplete KD), 2 (3%) met level 2a, and 1 (2%) met level 2c (Probable KD). Median age at admission was 13 months (interquartile range 7-26 months). A median of 9.5 cases were reported per year (range 4-14). Thirty-one (53%) KD cases were temporally associated with diphtheria-tetanus acellular pertussis containing vaccinations, followed by 21 (36%) cases with pneumococcal conjugate vaccines. Symptom onset was 0-14 d after vaccination in 32 (55%) cases. Echocardiogram results were available for 43 (74%) cases with 22 reported as abnormal. Age, sex, interval to symptom onset, and vaccines received were similar between KD cases and non-cases. No safety signals were detected in these data.
