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 aims to investigate the correlation between blood leukocyte, CRP, LDH, and cytokine levels and the severity of illness in children with adenovirus pneumonia.

methodsA total of 100 children with adenovirus pneumonia (55 mild cases and 45 severe cases) who were treated at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from January 2022 to January 2024, and 40 healthy children as a control group, were selected. Clinical data, some laboratory test data, and serum cytokine levels detected by flow cytometry were collected, and statistical methods were used to analyze the correlation between relevant indicators and the severity of the illness.

resultsThe research showed that among general clinical manifestations, the proportions of children with fever, dyspnea, pleural effusion, and moist rales in the severe group were all higher than those in the mild group (

conclusionIn this study, laboratory indicators (C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, neutrophils, etc.) and changes in the levels of specific cytokines (TNF-β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, etc.) in children with adenovirus pneumonia were closely related to the severity of the disease. Notably, neutrophil count and interleukin-6 were significantly positively correlated with disease severity and had high AUC values, suggesting they may be important parameters for early prediction of the progression of mild adenovirus infection to severe disease.
