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

Introduction: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile illness primarily affecting children and characterized by systemic inflammation and vasculitis that can lead to coronary artery complications. The aim of this study was to gain a comprehensive understanding of immune dysregulation in KD. Methods: To this end, we employed integration of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) and bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA-Seq) data. Furthermore, we conducted flow cytometry analysis for a cohort of 82 KD patients. Results: Our analysis revealed significant heterogeneity within immune cell populations in KD patients, with distinct clusters of T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. Importantly, CD4 Discussion: These findings provide insights into the immunopathogenesis of KD, emphasizing the importance of immune cell dysregulation and dysregulated signaling pathways. Integration of scRNA-Seq and bulk RNA-Seq data offers a comprehensive view of the molecular and cellular alterations in KD and highlights potential therapeutic targets for further investigation. Validation and functional studies are warranted to elucidate the roles of the identified immune cell types and pathways in KD pathogenesis and to develop targeted interventions to improve patient outcomes.
