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

Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a disease that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients exhibit symptoms mimicking the clinical presentation of an acute abdomen, representing a novel differential diagnosis, particularly in the young generation. This study aims to investigate the current level of awareness of MIS-C among surgeons and medical students. Methods: We conducted an anonymous online questionnaire among members of the Swiss Surgical Society and Swiss medical students. The questionnaires collected participants' baseline demographics and their awareness regarding MIS-C. Results: Both students and surgeons obtained very low scores in the self-assessment and had a low score in the section with awareness questions (true score). In medical students, we observed a positive correlation between self-assessment and true scores ( Conclusion: The results show an insufficient level of awareness concerning MIS-C among students and surgeons, warranting implementation in students' curriculum and surgeons' continuous training.
