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

backgroundRespiratory infections are recognized as common triggers of alveolar hemorrhage episodes in pediatric diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). However, comprehensive studies investigating this association in detail remain limited. The aim of this study was to explore the etiological spectrum, clinical features, treatment strategies and outcomes of the respiratory infection induced episode of alveolar hemorrhage (RIIEAH) in the pediatric DAH.

methodsThe children of DAH who had RIIEAH and a definite etiological diagnosis were included. All the subjects had been hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2023 to February 2024. A retrospective, single-center study was conducted.

results1. A total of 21 RIIEAHs were included, in which 12 RIIEAHs occurred at the unstable stage, 6 RIIEAHs occurred at the stable stage and 3 RIIEAHs occurred at the end stage. 2. Various pathogens could result in RIIEAHs including mycoplasma pneumoniae (n = 7), coronavirus (n = 3), haemophilus influenzae (n = 3), chlamydia pneumoniae (n = 2), human metapneumovirus (n = 2), acinetobacter baumannii (n = 1), pueumocystis carinii (n = 1) and mixed pathogens (n = 2). 3. The majority of the RIIEAHs (n = 19) presented with prodromal symptoms. Clinical manifestations of RIIEAHs included worsening anemia (n = 13), hemoptysis (n = 13), bleeding on bronchoscopy (n = 12) and dyspnea (n = 9). 4. An intensive glucocorticoid therapy was administrated in the 19 RIIEAHs, in which 18 RIIEAHs resolved.

conclusionsRIIEAH can be caused by various pathogens at any disease stage of pediatric DAH and an intensive glucocorticoid therapy seems to be effective for this condition.
