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

objectiveThis study investigated the cardiopulmonary function of prepubertal patients with Kawasaki Disease (KD) and compared it with that of healthy controls. STUDY

designRetrospective cohort study

methodsData were collected from two medical centers in Taiwan from January 2014 to December 2023. Patients aged 8 to 12 years with a KD history were recruited. All patients and controls (age-, sex-, and body mass index -matched) underwent Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET) and pulmonary function test.

resultsA total of 117 KD patients (mean age 9.64 ± 1.66 years; 68 males (58.1 %); (Body Mass Index [BMI] 19.21 ± 4.20 kg/m

conclusionsPrepubertal individuals with a KD history demonstrated lower aerobic capacity and peak exercise tolerance than healthy peers, particularly among males. Despite this, they can safely engage in moderate-to-vigorous physical activities, which are essential for maintaining cardiopulmonary health in later life. Encouraging regular exercise among these patients is crucial.
