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

Background: Methods: A retrospective study included 392 hospitalized children (≤14 years) with MPP (April 2023 to January 2024). Patients were grouped into single-infection (n=263) Results: Multivariate logistic regression showed each additional pulmonary consolidation reduced mixed infection risk by 22.6% (P<0.05). The severe subgroup had significantly larger consolidation diameters, more consolidations, and higher rates of multiple confluent B-lines (all P<0.05). A consolidation diameter >2.25 cm predicted severe Conclusions: LUS-detected parameters, including the number and diameter of pulmonary consolidations, may serve as valuable indicators for differentiating mixed infections and assessing disease severity in pediatric MPP.
