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

Introduction: In the post-pandemic era, Methodology: 288 MPP patients were retrospectively analyzed. Differences in clinical classification, symptoms, imaging, laboratory markers, and treatment response were assessed between children and adults. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to minimize bias. Predictors of severe MPP were further analyzed. Results: Most cases were mild with predominant respiratory symptoms. After PSM, "Child" had higher thermal spike (39.01 °C vs. 38.66 °C, Conclusion: Cough is the dominant symptom in both groups. CRP, lymphocyte percentage, and comorbidities help assess severity in "Child". Elevated CRP alone predicts severity in "Adult". Quinolones were associated with favorable recovery in adults.
