Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children: an Umbrella review.
Synthesis in Journal of anesthesia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 conducted an Umbrella review of eligible studies to evaluate what patient features have been investigated in the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) population, in order to guide future investigations. We comprehensively searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from December 1, 2019 to the May 6, 2022. The time period was limited to cover the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic period. The protocol was registered in the PROSPERO registry (CRD42022340228). Eligible studies included (1) a study population of pediatric patients ≤21 years of age diagnosed with MIS-C; (2) an original Systematic review or Mata-analysis; (3) published 2020 afterward; and (4) was published in English. A total of 41 studies met inclusion criteria and underwent qualitative analysis. 28 studies reported outcome data of MIS-C. 22 studies selected clinical features of MIS-C, and 6 studies chose demographic data as a main topic. The mortality rate for children with MIS-C was 1.9% (interquartile range (IQR) 0.48), the ICU admission rate was 72.6% (IQR 8.3), and the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation rate was 4.7% (IQR 2.0). A meta-analysis of eligible studies found that cerebral natriuretic peptide in children with MIS-C was higher than that in children with COVID-19, and that the use of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in combination with glucocorticoids to treat MIS-C compared to IVIG alone was associated with lower treatment failure. In the future, for patients with MIS-C, studies focused on safety of surgery requiring general anesthesia, risk factors, treatment, and long-term outcomes are warranted.
