Mesenteric Lymphadenitis on Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Pediatric Patients With Group A Streptococcal Pharyngitis: A Case Series.
Article in Journal of clinical ultrasound : JCU, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Abdominal pain is a common complaint in pediatric patients with Group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Etiology of abdominal pain from GAS infections are unknown. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is often used by pediatric emergency medicine physicians to evaluate children with abdominal pain. We describe 12 pediatric patients who presented to our Pediatric Emergency Department with symptoms suggestive of acute pharyngitis and abdominal pain, tested positive for GAS pharyngitis, and were found to have mesenteric lymphadenitis (mLAD) on POCUS. Findings on POCUS suggest that abdominal pain in GAS pharyngitis patients may be caused by mLAD. Further studies are warranted to validate this association.
