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

COVID-19 and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) have been associated with a higher incidence of hypercoagulability and thromboembolic events (TEs), even in children, leading to relevant morbidity, and mortality. However, our understanding of such complications in childhood is limited. To better understand the incidence, clinical manifestations, risk factors, and management of COVID-19 and MIS-C-related TEs in children, a review of the current literature and a brief update on pathophysiology are given. Sixty-two studies, describing 138 patients with TEs associated with COVID-19 or MIS-C, were included. The overall number of TEs was 157, as 16 patients developed multiple TEs: venous TEs represented the majority (54%), followed by arterial thrombosis (38%, mainly represented by arterial ischemic stroke-AIS), and intracardiac thrombosis (ICT) (8%). Within the venous TEs group, pulmonary embolism (PE) was the most frequent, followed by deep venous thrombosis, central venous sinus thrombosis, and splanchnic venous thrombosis. Notably, 10 patients had multiple types of venous TEs, and four had both venous and arterial thrombosis including a newborn. Most of them (79 cases,57%) had at least one predisposing condition, being obesity the most frequent (21%), especially in patients with PE, followed by malignancy (9%). In 35% of cases, no data about the outcome were available About one-third of cases recovered, 12% improved at discharge or follow-up, and 6% had persistent neurological
