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

During the pandemic of COVID-19, a novel atypical set of clinical findings was seen among several children with recent or current exposure to the virus. It was termed the "multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children" (MIS-C). Our study used the 2021 National Inpatient Sample to study the associations of sex, race, and age with the incidence of MIS-C among COVID-19-positive children. Out of 69,440 COVID-19-positive children, 2,790 (4.0%) reported MIS-C. The incidence of MIS-C was highest among those aged 8 years old (17,130 MIS-C cases per 100,000 COVID-19 patients), Asian or Pacific Islanders (API) (5,346 MIS-C per 100,000 COVID-19 cases), and males (4,734 cases per 100,000 COVID-19 cases). Furthermore, 7.9% of MIS-C cases met the classification of Kawasaki disease.
