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

objectiveThis study was designed to investigate the clinical efficacy of azithromycin combined with ambroxol in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP).

methodsThe clinical data of 103 children with MPP treated in Fuyang District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Hangzhou from December 2020 to August 2021 were selected and retrospectively analyzed, and these children were divided into a control group (n=51, azithromycin treatment) and a study group (n=52, azithromycin plus ambroxol treatment) according to the different treatment methods. The immunoglobulin level, pulmonary function score, treatment efficacy, serum cytokine level, disappearance time of signs and symptoms, and myocardial enzyme indices were observed and compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to screen the factors affecting the prognosis of MPP patients.

resultsAfter treatment, the study group showed significantly lower levels of immunoglobulin E, immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M and immunoglobulin A; higher pulmonary function scores, and lower levels of interleukin-6, human interferon-gamma, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-4 compared with the control group (all

conclusionAzithromycin combined with ambroxol can effectively improve the immunoglobulin level and lung function, reduce the level of inflammatory factors, improve the therapeutic effect, shorten the recovery process, and reduce the degree of myocardial damage, which is effective in the treatment of MPP and is worth promoting.
