Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2024. 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
backgroundThe new coronavirus Omicron variant strain spread rapidly worldwide and is currently the primary mutant strain prevalent in the world.
objectiveTo explore the clinical features of severe central nervous system lesions in children infected with novel coronavirus Omicron mutant strain, so as to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe clinical data of 13 children diagnosed with novel coronavirus Omicron variant strain complicated with severe central nervous system infection from December 13, 2022, to January 31, 2023, in the Children's Intensive Care Medicine Department of Shanxi Children's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsAmong the 13 children, there were 9 males (69%) and 4 females (31%); the ages ranged from 1-year-old 16 days to 13 years old, with a median age of 9 years old, and most of them were school-age children (84.6%). The 13 children were usually healthy, but this time they were all positive for the new coronavirus nucleic acid test. The 13 children had obvious signs of the abnormal nervous system when they were admitted to the hospital, among which 12 cases (92.3%) showed convulsions, 11 children had obvious disturbance of consciousness (84.6%) when they were admitted to the hospital, and 5 children had circulatory disorders (38.4%). Among the 13 children, 2 were cured (15.3%), 5 children had serious sequelae (38.4%) when they were discharged from the hospital, and 6 children died of severe illness (46.3%).
conclusionThis study illuminates the clinical characteristics of severe central nervous system complications in children with coronavirus variant infection, highlighting rapid onset, swift progression, relatively poor prognosis, and notable symptoms such as high fever, convulsions, altered consciousness, elevated interleukin-6 levels, increased cerebrospinal fluid lactate levels, and early imaging changes.
