Contributing factors to pediatric COVID-19 and MIS-C during the initial waves: A systematic review of 92 case reports.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to sweep the world with unprecedented speed and devastation, data has shown that cases in the pediatric population have been significantly lower than in the adult population. We conducted a systematic review of case reports to identify the contributing factors of confirmed pediatric COVID-19 patients. Methods: Using the PubMed platform, and Cochrane Central, we searched for primary studies alone. All database searches were performed between December 2019 and December 2020. We incorporated keywords including "pediatrics," "Case reports," "Cases," "Covid-19″ into all searches. Results: A total of 92 records were included in this novel review. Of all patients, 58% were male and the mean age of the patients was 6.2 years (SD: 5.9). Contributing factors to MIS-C infections were G6PD deficiency (17.6%), Group A streptococcus co-infection (17.6%), infancy (11.8%), whereas those in COVID-19 pediatric patients included congenital (18.5%), and genetic defects (13.8%), in addition to vertical transmission or during infancy (16.9%). Data of baseline demographic characteristics and clinical sequelae of included COVID-19 pediatric and MIS-C patients is presented. Conclusion: With schools reopening and closing, the pediatric age group is susceptible to high rates of COVID-19 community transmission. We provide insights into potential contributing factors to pediatric COVID-19 and MIS-C patients. These insights are critical to guide future guidelines on the management and potential vaccination efforts.
