Infectious mononucleosis complicated with Kawasaki disease: Two case reports and literature review.
Article in Pediatric investigation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Infectious mononucleosis (IM) and Kawasaki disease (KD) can present with overlapping clinical features, occasionally complicating the differential diagnosis. Given the significant differences in their management, accurate distinction is critical. It is exceptionally rare for a single patient to simultaneously suffer from both IM and KD in clinical practice. Case presentation: We report two cases of children over five years of age who initially presented with clinical manifestations suggestive of IM and serological evidence consistent with primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, supporting an initial diagnosis of IM. Subsequently, both patients developed clinical features meeting the diagnostic criteria for KD. The final diagnosis was co-occurrence of IM and KD. Conclusion: We describe two cases of concurrent IM and KD, offering further insight into a possible association between primary EBV infection and KD. Clinicians should be mindful of the potential co-occurrence of these disorders, strive to avoid conflicts in treatment strategies, and take proactive measures to prevent complications.
