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

A 21-year-old man on hemodialysis was hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. After admission, he had a persistent high fever and developed erythema induratum on his extremities. Laboratory tests conducted 25 days after onset showed markedly increased procalcitonin (PCT) levels (>100 ng/mL). The patient developed impaired consciousness and hypotensive shock and required endotracheal intubation. Based on the presence of erythema induratum and multiorgan dysfunction, he was diagnosed with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS). The MIS resolved after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and methylprednisolone. This report illustrates that MIS can occur in adults and may be accompanied by high PCT levels.
