When two Z-scores meet-analysis of exercise capacity of children and adolescents with Kawasaki disease by a new Z-score model of coronary artery and a new Z-score evaluating peak oxygen consumption : Coronary artery Z-score and peakVO2 Z-score in KD.

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
backgroundCoronary artery (CA) Z-score system is widely used to define CA aneurysm (CAA). Children and adolescents after acute stage of Kawasaki disease (KD-CA) have a higher risk of developing CAAs if their CA Z-score ≥ 2.5. Z-score system of peak oxygen consumption (Peak VO
methodsKD-CA after acute stage who received CPET in the last 5 years were retrospectively recruited. CA Z-score was based on Lambda-Mu-Sigma method. Max-Z was the maximum CA Z-score of different CAs. KD children with Max-Z < 2.5 and ≥ 2.5 were defined as KD-1 and KD-2 groups, respectively. Peak VO
resultsOne hundred two KD-CA were recruited (mean age: 11.71 ± 2.57 years). The mean percent of measured peak VO
conclusionsKD-CA had slightly reduced EC than healthy peers. KD-CA with Max-Z ≥ 2.5 had significantly lower peak EC than those < 2.5. Max-Z is potentially useful follow-up indicator after acute stage of KD.
