An Infant With Kawasaki Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Kawasaki disease (KD) is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries. Delayed treatment can lead to coronary artery (CA) abnormalities, potentially causing myocardial ischemia, infarction, and death. Younger age is a risk factor for developing bilateral large CA aneurysms in KD patients. A one-and-a-half-month-old infant presented with fever and elevated inflammatory markers. Post-admission ceftriaxone injections were ineffective. Subsequently, the patient experienced recurrent high fevers, accompanied by rashes, erythema, and induration of the palms and soles, erythema, swelling at the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) scar site, cracked lips, and conjunctival hyperemia, all of which were indicative of KD. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and aspirin were administered on the third day of fever. Follow-ups at one, three, six, and 12 months post discharge revealed normal findings. This case demonstrates that even very young infants can develop complete KD, and early treatment can prevent CA complications.
