Pulmonary thromboembolism due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae in children: a case report and literature review.
Review in BMC pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is a common respiratory pathogen in children that can sometimes lead to extrapulmonary manifestations. Among these, pediatric pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) is clinically rare but carries significant implications. However, it is often underrecognized, and its diagnosis and treatment are not well understood. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of PE associated with MP pneumonia in a 6-year-old girl who presented with recurrent hyperpyrexia, cough, extensive consolidation in the upper lobe of the left lung, and pulmonary artery thrombi in the right lung. Following prompt diagnosis of PE and appropriate antibiotic therapy combined with anticoagulation treatment, the child recovered well and remained healthy at follow-up. The diagnostic and treatment processes were analyzed, and previously reported cases of pediatric MP-related PE were reviewed.
conclusionPE should be considered in pediatric patients with MP pneumonia who do not improve or whose condition worsens despite standard therapy. The outcomes of pediatric MP-related PE are generally favorable if prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are provided.
