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

backgroundTo explore the alterations of inflammatory markers and immune-related cytokines in children infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) combined with Adenovirus (ADV).

methodsThe study population consisted of 201 children with MPP, and they were grouped according to whether they were coinfected with ADV infection and critically ill. Additionally, comparative analyses were performed. The diagnostic value of different indicators and combined indicators for SMPP combined with ADV was assessed using ROC curves.

resultsThere was no difference between group A1 and group A2, group B1 and group B2 in terms of age, gender, duration of hospitalisation and fever. The levels of calcitoninogen(PCT), lactate dehydrogenase concentration(LDH), interleukin(IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-4, IL-12P70, and IFN-γ in group A were higher than group B. The severe group (A1, B1) was significantly higher than the mild group (A2, B2) in terms of D-dimer, CRP, PCT, LDH, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-17a and number of patients with pleural effusion, solid lung changes. Among the individual indexes of D-dimer, CRP, N%,LDH, and PCT, the AUC of the combined test was 0.977, which was higher than that of the individual indicators. Among IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and IL-17a, the AUC of the combined assay was 0.802, which was higher than that of the individual indicators.

conclusionMP combined with ADV infection was associated with increased expression levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-4, IL-12P70, IFN-γ, and LDH. IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-17a, LDH, PCT, CRP, and D-dimer could be used as predictors of SMPP and the combined test can improve the diagnostic value.
