Analysis of risk factors of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children.

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
To explore the risk factors and predictive value of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection in children. A total of 2042 children with suspected Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection who were treated for the first time at Civil Aviation General Hospital from October 2023 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects. Among them, 1637 cases were confirmed as Mycoplasma pneumonia-infected and were included in the pneumonia group, while the remaining 405 cases were non-Mycoplasma pneumonia-infected and were included in the non-Mycoplasma pneumonia group. The clinical data of the 2 groups of children (including gender, age, initial symptoms, laboratory indicators, etc) and the risk factors of MP infection in children were compared, and the receiver operating characteristic curve was analyzed. This study showed that the percentage of neutrophils in the non-MP infection group was significantly lower than that in the MP infection group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < .001). When comparing the percentages of lymphocyte percentage (LY) and hemoglobin in the 2 groups of children, the Mycoplasma pneumonia-infected group was lower than the non-Mycoplasma pneumonia-infected group, and the differences were both statistically significant (P < .05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that white blood cell and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) might be valuable markers for predicting MP infection. The Spearman correlation indicated that LY was collinear with the occurrence of MP infection, and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression analysis demonstrated that both LY and NLR might be valuable markers for predicting MP infection (P < .05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the area under the curve of the NLR for diagnosing MP infection was 0.624, with a cutoff value of 1.36 (sensitivity of 0.798 and specificity of 0.558). In the diagnosis of MP infection, the consistency between the RNA method and the immunogold colloidal method was poor (Kappa = 0.108, P < .05). The consistency between the RNA method and the immunogold colloidal method in the diagnosis of MP infection is poor. Both the white blood cell and NLR are valuable markers for MP infection.
