Pediatric COVID-19: clinical characteristics and prognostic outcomes.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
To analyze the clinical characteristics of pediatric coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and provide direction for clinical treatment and nursing. Children under 18 years old admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University were collected due to testing positive for COVID-19 from the outbreak of COVID-19 to January 2023. Patient data, including age, vaccination history, admission symptoms, clinical progression, and treatment outcomes, were extracted from the database. From April 2020 to January 2023, 237 children under 18 years old with COVID-19-positive result in the pediatric ward were collected. All cases achieved hospital discharge without mortality. Among them, 17.72% were under 1 year old, 27.00% were 1-4 years old, 34.60% were 5-10 years old, and 20.68% were over 10 years old. Male predominance was observed (63.29%, sex ratio 1.72:1), the prevalence rate of children of all ages is also similar in sexual distinction ( IMPORTANCE: According to a review of 72,314 cases by the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), less than 1% of the cases occurred in children under the age of 10 years, with the vast majority being children. If children are indeed infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the vast majority of people will have mild diseases that do not require hospitalization. Therefore, the available data on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in infants are still limited. This article collects the cases of children who have been hospitalized because of positive tests since the outbreak of COVID-19, analyzes, and understands how COVID-19 influences children, which can help us better interpret and respond to public health measures.
