Malignant Pertussis With COVID-19 Coinfection in an Unvaccinated Infant: A Case Report in the Context of Vaccine Hesitancy.
Article in Cureus, 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
Pertussis remains a major cause of morbidity in infants worldwide despite widespread vaccination. Coinfection with respiratory viruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may exacerbate disease severity and complicate management. We report a case of malignant pertussis in a one-year and five-month-old boy complicated by a concurrent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. The child presented with prolonged paroxysmal cough, leukocytosis, and respiratory distress requiring non-invasive ventilation.
