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

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis managed mainly through intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), aspirin, and steroids. Although gastrointestinal symptoms are common, gastrointestinal bleeding is rare. We present the case of an 11-month-old girl with incomplete KD who developed severe gastrointestinal bleeding due to multiple gastric ulcers, despite prophylactic H2-receptor antagonist therapy, requiring blood transfusion therapy. This case illustrates that gastrointestinal bleeding can occur as a direct consequence of KD and from the combined effects of corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It emphasizes the need for vigilant monitoring and further research to efficiently prevent gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with KD.
