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

objectivesTo investigate the clinical features, prognosis, and factors associated with influenza-associated encephalopathy (IAE) in children.

methodsClinical data of 186 children hospitalized with influenza and neurological symptoms at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2015 to December 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on whether they met the diagnostic criteria for acute encephalopathy, patients were divided into the IAE group and the non-IAE group. Clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, neuroimaging characteristics, treatment, and outcomes were compared between the two groups.

resultsThe IAE group included 58 patients (31.2%), with seizures and persistent disturbance of consciousness as the main neurological manifestations (40 cases each, 69.0%). Compared with the non-IAE group, the IAE group had an older age at onset and higher rates of electroencephalographic and neuroimaging abnormalities (

conclusionsPediatric IAE is characterized by seizures and persistent disturbance of consciousness, with a predilection for deep brain structures and a high risk of poor prognosis. Older age and elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase are closely associated with the development of IAE.
