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
Kawasaki disease (KD), a febrile vasculitis primarily affecting young children under 5, is commonly associated with coronary artery complications. This report describes the case of a 2.5-month-old infant presenting with a persistent 15-day fever, initially misidentified as pharyngitis and otitis media. Laboratory tests indicated significant leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, and increased C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Echocardiography revealed coronary artery dilation and pericardial effusion, confirming a KD diagnosis. The infant received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and high-dose aspirin, which resolved the fever. Symptom recurrence necessitated additional IVIG and corticosteroid treatment. Subsequent imaging showed ongoing coronary dilation, emphasizing the risk of lasting vascular complications. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges of KD in infants, especially those with atypical presentations. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical to prevent serious complications such as coronary aneurysms. Healthcare providers should consider KD in infants with prolonged unexplained fevers to improve prognosis and minimize heart-related risks.
