COVID-19 and Thromboembolic Events in the Pandemic and Pre-Pandemic Era: A Pediatric Cohort.
Article in Viruses, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) have been variably associated with thromboembolic events (TEs) in children. The aim of our study was to assess the prevalence of TEs in children hospitalized during a five-year period in a tertiary pediatric hospital, particularly in patients with COVID-19 and MIS-C. Overall, 38 patients were discharged with the diagnosis of TE: 20 in the pre-pandemic and 18 in the pandemic period. The prevalence of TEs was the same (0.08%) in the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods. The occurrence of TEs was higher in patients with COVID-19 or MIS-C (6/517, 1.16%) when compared to children without these conditions in the pandemic and in the pre-pandemic periods. The prevalence of TEs in children with MIS-C was significantly higher than the prevalence in patients with COVID-19. Five out of six of the patients with COVID-19 or MIS-C developing a TE had at least one predisposing factor to thrombosis. In conclusion, our study shows an increased prevalence of TEs in children hospitalized with COVID-19 or MIS-C, if compared to children without COVID-19 or MIS-C in the pandemic period and in the pre-pandemic period. The prevalence of TEs was significantly higher in patients with MIS-C.
