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), or mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, is a rare systemic inflammatory condition predominantly affecting children under 5 years of age. Complications such as giant coronary artery aneurysms, although rare due to advancements in treatment, remain life-threatening. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been a well-established treatment for severe coronary lesions caused by KD. In rare cases of ischemic cardiomyopathy in pediatric patients, heart transplantation may be the only option. We report a case of a 15-year-old male with a history of KD diagnosed at 9 months of age, complicated by giant coronary aneurysms of the left anterior descending and right coronary arteries, who underwent a successful double CABG using the left internal mammary artery) and a saphenous vein graft.
