Efficacy of dipyridamole plus IVIG and aspirin on anti-platelet aggregation factors and inflammatory factors in children with Kawasaki disease.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWhile standard therapeutic regimens for Kawasaki disease (KD) in children have exhibited some efficacy, they remain far from ideal. Thus, the pursuit of alternative or improved treatment modalities remis clinically critical.
objectiveThis study primarily aimed to assess the effect of dipyridamole (DIP) plus human intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and aspirin (ASP) as to efficacy, antiplatelet aggregation factors, and inflammatory markers in children with KD.
methodsA total of 95 pediatric KD patients were selected from February 2021 to July 2024, with 44 cases in the control group treated with IVIG + ASP and 51 cases in the research group given DIP in addition to IVIG + ASP. The efficacy, symptom resolution time (defervescence, limb swelling, mucosal congestion, and cervical lymphadenopathy), coronary artery injury, coagulation function (thrombin time [TT], prothrombin time [PT], and activated partial thromboplastin time [APTT]), antiplatelet aggregation factors (erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR], white blood cell count [WBC], and platelet count [PLT]), and inflammatory factors (C-reactive protein [CRP], and tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α], interleukin-6 [IL-6]) levels were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe research group exhibited a higher overall treatment efficacy rate, shorter symptom resolution times, and a significantly lower incidence of coronary artery injury compared to the control group. No significant differences were observed between the two groups or before and after treatment within the same group in coagulation function indices. Markedly reduced levels of anti-platelet aggregation factors and inflammatory markers were observed in the research group versus those in the control group.
conclusionDIP in combination with IVIG and ASP significantly enhances treatment efficacy and improves levels of antiplatelet aggregation factors and inflammatory markers in children with KD.
