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

The objective of this study is to determine whether the data of blood profiles before and after therapy can be useful for predicting medium-giant coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) in patients with KD. In total, 1856 KD children from 2013 to 2022 were prospectively recruited. Serial blood samples on the day of initial IVIG infusion and 36-48 h thereafter were collected. The clinical and laboratory parameters were compared between the medium-giant CAA (n = 95) group and the non-CAA group (n = 1761). Multivariate analysis was performed to explore the independent risk factors for medium-giant CAA and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate and assess the prediction validities. Fever duration prior to initial IVIG infusion, IVIG resistance, cardiac enlargement, white blood cells prior to initial IVIG treatment, albumin levels, and the percentage of △neutrophils were independent risk factors for predicting medium-giant CAA. The predictive value of △neutrophil percentage (≤ 30.2%) demonstrates a relatively high sensitivity (0.84) and a moderate specificity (0.52) for predicting acute medium-giant CAA. The △neutrophil percentage before and 36-48 h after initial IVIG infusion might serve as a promising biomarker in the prediction of medium-giant CAA for KD patients.
