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
objectiveTo identify the correlation between serum inflammatory cytokines and immune markers in children with severe hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD).
methodsPaediatric patients with severe or mild HFMD from Linping Campus, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University, were included in this retrospective study. Data comprising demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms and signs, laboratory findings and other factors were collected. Serum interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-10, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interferon (IFN)-γ levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at 1, 3, and 5 days after admission. Risk factors were screened using multivariate logistic regression analysis.
resultsA total of 200 patients with HFMD (120 severe and 80 mild cases) were included. Younger age and longer fever duration were associated with severe HFMD, as were increased white blood cell, neutrophil and platelet counts, blood glucose, immunoglobulin (Ig)M and IgG. IL-6 and IL-10 levels were higher in patients with severe versus mild HFMD on days 1, 3 and 5. TNF-α was higher in the severe group on day 3. Increased white blood cell and neutrophil counts, IL-6, IL-10, and IgG levels, age, fever duration, and blood glucose level were found to be risk factors associated with the occurrence of severe HFMD.
conclusionsInflammatory cytokines and immune indexes may be related to the occurrence of severe HFMD.
