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

objectivesThe incidence of pertussis has increased significantly in the past year, with infants at high risk of severe disease and death. We aimed to retrospectively analyze pediatric severe pertussis in southern China.

methodsChildren diagnosed with severe pertussis who were hospitalized in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from August 2023 to May 2024 were included. We compared clinical characteristics among different groups and identified risk factors for outcomes and indications for exchange blood transfusion (EBT) in severe pertussis.

resultsA total of 104 children with severe pertussis were included. The deceased patients had higher white blood cell counts (WBC) and higher rates of oliguria, pulmonary hypertension (PAH), and tricuspid regurgitation. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed a lower survival rate in patients with oliguria, hypotension, WBC ≥ 36.0 × 10

conclusionsIn pediatric severe pertussis with oliguria, hypotension or shock, WBC ≥ 36.0 × 10
