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

Background: Methods: A total of 120 pediatric patients with MP infection admitted to our hospital from June 2021 to May 2023 were stratified into an AHR cohort (n=45) and a non-AHR cohort (n=75) based on the presence or absence of AHR. General patient information, IL-6 and FeNO levels, lung function indices [forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV Results: Proportions of the AHR cohort with fever duration ≥7 days (P=0.02) and antibiotic initiation ≥7 days (P=0.02) were significantly higher than those in the non-AHR cohort. The AHR cohort exhibited significantly higher levels of peripheral blood IL-6 (P<0.001), HMGB1 (P<0.001), TLR4 (P=0.01), NF-κB (P=0.01), and FeNO (P<0.001) and lower values of FEV1 (P=0.04), FVC (P<0.001), and PEF (P<0.001). Pearson correlation demonstrated that IL-6 and FeNO were positively correlated with HMGB1, TLR4, and NF-κB (r>0, P<0.001), and inversely correlated with FEV Conclusions: Peripheral blood levels of IL-6 and FeNO were significantly elevated in children with MP infection and AHR. These markers were associated with lung function and the HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. Their combined assessment could effectively predict the co-incurrence of AHR in patients with MP infection.
