Incidence of Bacille Calmette-Guérin associated lymphadenitis in healthy children: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Few systematic reviews or meta-analyses have addressed on the incidence of Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) lymphadenitis in healthy children. A systematic literature search was independently conducted by two researchers using four English and Korean databases (PubMed, Scopus, KMbase, RISS). The risk of bias was assessed. A total of 52 peer-reviewed journal articles (about 1.8 million children) were included in meta-analyses. The incidence proportion of BCG lymphadenitis ranged from 0.0% to 25.6%. The pooled incidence proportion was 2.5% (95% CI, 1.6-3.6; I
