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

Objective: To compare the clinical characteristics and immune-inflammatory markers between Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia children with and without atopic constitution, and to identify independent risk factors for severe MPP within the atopic group. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 377 children diagnosed with MPP at Wuhan Children's Hospital between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2024, who underwent allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) testing for both inhalant and food allergens. The children were divided into two groups based on their atopic constitution: the atopic constitution group ( Results: Among the 377 children with MPP, 282 (74.8%) were identified as having an atopic constitution. Within the atopic constitution group ( Conclusion: Children with an atopic constitution exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of airway hyperreactivity symptoms during Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection compared to those without an atopic background. Clinically, high serum ferritin and IgE levels should be considered important independent risk factors for predicting severe MPP in children with an atopic constitution, which could facilitate early intervention and improve prognosis.
