Recurrent Kawasaki Disease in a Three-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

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.
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 medium-vessel vasculitis and the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries. Recurrence is uncommon but clinically important because subsequent episodes may carry a heightened risk of coronary artery involvement and treatment resistance. We report a three-year-old boy with recurrent KD approximately 13 months after an initial, uncomplicated KD episode at 23 months of age. Echocardiography demonstrated coronary artery ectasia. He was diagnosed and treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) on day 3 of illness and required steroid treatment in addition. Coronary artery ectasia has regressed on subsequent follow-ups. This case highlights that recurrent KD can present with variable clinical criteria yet demonstrate greater cardiac involvement and relative IVIG resistance compared with the index episode. Clinicians should maintain vigilance for recurrence, promptly institute anti-inflammatory therapy, and ensure close cardiology follow-up to mitigate coronary complications.
