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

Objective: This study aimed to summarize the clinical features of Methods: We conducted a single-centre retrospective cross-sectional study by retrospectively collecting clinical data from 145 children diagnosed with Results: Among the 145 children, 89 were male and 56 were female. The median age at onset was 11 years (IQR: 8.33-12.42), and the median disease duration was 14 days (IQR: 12-18). Cough was present in 144 cases (99.3%), with wet cough being predominant (141 cases, 97.2%). Fever was observed in 65 cases (44.8%), primarily low to moderate grade, with a median peak temperature of 38.5°C (IQR: 38.0-39.0). Nasal congestion was noted in 43 cases (29.7%), chest pain in 11 (7.6%), and both rash and hemoptysis in 5 cases each (3.4%). Laboratory results showed a median white blood cell count of 8.09 × 10 Conclusion: Older children who mainly suffer from cough and expectoration, with no fever or low-grade fever, pleural-based lobar consolidation on chest radiography, and normal leukocyte counts and inflammatory biomarkers, are highly likely to be diagnosed with CP pneumonia. Early recognition of these characteristic manifestations can facilitate timely diagnosis and targeted antimicrobial therapy for childhood CPP.
