Lymph-node-first Kawasaki disease obscured by deep neck infection in an infant.
Article in IDCases, 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
Fever, suppurative lymphadenitis, and suppurative parapharyngeal and mediastinal abscesses are typically indicative of deep neck infections. However, in rare instances, such deep neck infections may obscure underlying autoimmune conditions. This can lead to delayed or missed diagnosis with serious consequences. This case report describes the diagnostic uncertainty in a child presenting with suppurative deep neck and mediastinal abscesses concurrently with lymph-node-first Kawasaki disease features. Early clinical suspicion based on partial antibiotic response, timely detection of bilateral coronary artery dilatation and aneurysm, and prompt dual management with abscess drainage and intravenous immunoglobulin led to complete recovery of the child. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for Kawasaki disease in children with persistent lymphadenopathy and fever spikes despite intravenous antibiotics, while also recognizing the potential for true deep neck infection.
