Gastrointestinal System Involvement in Pediatric Patients with Acute SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

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
Objective: The prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has been reported widely. In this study, the prevalence of gastrointestinal system (GIS) involvement in pediatric COVID-19 and its effect on prognosis were investigated. Methods: Children (aged 0-18 years) with acute COVID-19 were included in the study. The patients were grouped according to system involvement: isolated respiratory system (RS), isolated GIS, and combination of both (RS+GIS). These groups were compared in terms of demographic data, clinical characteristics, laboratory and imaging findings, and hospitalization. Results: A total of 223 pediatric patients were included in the study. Of these patients, 19 were asymptomatic, 12 were diagnosed with a multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, 21 had chronic disorders that may affect disease severity, and 27 had symptoms not related to RS or GIS. The remaining 144 patients were classified according to system involvement: 79 (35.4%), 14 (6.3%), and 51 (22.9%) had isolated RS, isolated GIS, and RS+GIS involvement, respectively. The GIS group was much younger than the RS group (median, 30 and 150 months, respectively, p=0.006). Three patients from the RS group were followed in the intensive care unit (ICU). Moreover, 17 (21.5%) and 4 (7.8%) patients from the RS group had severe-critical respiratory symptoms, in the RS+GIS group had severe-critical respiratory symptoms (p=0.039). Conclusions: Our study showed that GIS involvement in children with COVID-19 is more prevalent than RS involvement in the younger age group. Respiratory symptom severity and ICU admission also decreased with accompanying GIS involvement. GIS involvement was still associated with a milder disease course after adjustment for age.
