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

This paper comprehensively compares the Kawasaki disease (KD) guidelines from seven countries/regions, including China, Argentina, Europe, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the United States, as retrieved from the PubMed database. It analyzes the similarities and differences in KD diagnosis and treatment among these guidelines. The results show that all guidelines consistently recommend a single infusion of immunoglobulin at a dosage of 2 g/kg as the first-line treatment for KD, and none advocate for the routine use of methylprednisolone or prednisone as standalone first-line treatment options for KD. However, there are some differences among the guidelines regarding classification, diagnostic criteria, and specific treatment methods for KD. Therefore, it is essential to further strengthen international collaboration in guideline development and conduct multicenter clinical research in the future, aiming to achieve a higher level of expert consensus, thereby promoting the enhancement of KD diagnosis and treatment.
