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

objectivesTo study the clinical and imaging features of children with influenza-associated encephalopathy (IAE), and to investigate the influencing factors for prognosis.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical data (clinical data, laboratory examinations, imaging data, and prognosis) of 23 children with IAE who were diagnosed and treated in Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from May 2022 to April 2023.

resultsAmong the 23 patients, 18 (78%) had influenza A and 5 (22%) had influenza B. All patients had fever and encephalopathy, and 20 patients (87%) had seizures, while 11 patients (48%) had persistent convulsions. There were 10 patients (43%) with an increase in alanine aminotransferase, 14 (61%) with an increase in aspartate aminotransferase, and 18 (78%) with an increase in lactate dehydrogenase. Abnormal imaging findings were observed in 20 patients (87%), among whom 10 (43%) had acute necrotizing encephalopathy. All 23 patients received peramivir or oseltamivir. Of all patients, 12 (52%) achieved complete recovery, 5 (22%) had varying degrees of neurological dysfunction, and 6 (26%) died. Compared with the good prognosis group, the poor prognosis group had significantly higher levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase (

conclusionsFever and convulsions are the most common symptoms of children with IAE, and acute necrotizing encephalopathy is the most common clinical imaging syndrome. Increases in alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase have a certain value in predicting poor prognosis.
