Clinical characteristics of pediatric inpatients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant-a retrospective observational cohort study.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: The children infected with the Omicron variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are at risk of progressing to severe disease. Clinical characteristics treatment measures and prognosis of these special age group of patients have not been completely understood which necessitate more researches. This study sought to analyze the clinical characteristics of children infected with the Omicron variant to provide evidences for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the Omicron variant infection in children. Methods: The subjects of this study included children hospitalized for the Omicron variant at Tianjin Binhai Hospital in November 2022. The data were collected from the electronic medical record system, and the clinical characteristics of the children were analyzed. The primary endpoints included the clinical presentation, laboratory tests, virological characteristics, treatment regimen, and clinical prognosis of the patients. Results: A total of 49 patients were enrolled, of whom 32 (65.3%) were male. The patients had a median age of 10 (interquartile range, 6-11) years, and 34.7% of the patients received 2 or more coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. The main clinical manifestations of the patients were fever (79.6%) and cough (24.5%), with a maximum temperature of 42 ℃ and a median temperature of 39 (interquartile range, 38.4-39) ℃. The proportions of neutrophils and C-reactive protein were elevated by 50.0% and 25.0%, respectively. The total percentages of white blood cells and thrombocytopenia were 12.5% and 6.3%, respectively. D-dimer was examined in 6 cases, and was elevated to 1.77 μg/mL in 1 case (16.7%), and normal in 5 cases. The liver function, kidney function, and coagulation of 9 (100%) patients were all normal. After the anti-virus, anti-inflammatory response, antipyretic, and traditional Chinese medicine treatments, all the children were cured and discharged from the hospital. There were no severe cases. Conclusions: The main manifestations of children infected with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant were fever and cough. Some children had a high fever, nasal congestion, runny nose, gastrointestinal symptoms, and rash. A proportion of 12.5% of patients have a white blood cell count less than 4×10
