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
We report a case of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in an East Asian toddler. He presented with a 2-day history of fever and pyuria, 5 weeks before that he had recovered from COVID-19. He was initially treated as urinary tract infection. On day 5 of fever, he was noted to have bilateral non-suppurative limbus-sparing conjunctivitis, red and cracked lips and erythematous extremities. Investigations showed raised inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate), thrombocytopenia and a markedly elevated NT-proBNP. He received prompt and appropriate treatment inpatient; however, he still had mild coronary abnormalities at 9 months postdischarge. The aim of this paper is to describe the initial presentation and progress of a case of MIS-C. The unique features of this case are his initial presentation of pyuria and notably, his demography (young age, East Asian) which is more typical of Kawasaki disease than MIS-C.
