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

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms in children are relatively mild and often do not require treatment. Nonetheless, complications caused by the immune response to COVID-19 in children are possible and diverse. We present the case of a 7-year-old girl with persistent fever and lymphadenopathy arising from SARS-CoV-2 infection, diagnosed with Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (KFD) on lymph node biopsy. KFD is a rare benign disease, clinically characterized by fever and tender cervical lymphadenopathy affecting posterior cervical lymph nodes. We also reviewed six previously reported cases of COVID-19-associated KFD that occurred in school-aged children and compared them with the present case. The clinical course of COVID-19-associated KFD was similar to that of previous reports of KFD with a favorable prognosis. This is the first report of a school-aged child developing KFD following SARS-CoV-2 infection. KFD should be considered when approaching patients with hyperinflammatory states who present with prolonged fever and cervical lymphadenopathy after COVID-19.
