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

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of methylprednisolone sodium succinate combined with azithromycin in the treatment of pediatric bronchopneumonia, and to explore its comprehensive effects on immune regulation and inflammation relief. Methods: This retrospective controlled study included 120 pediatric patients with bronchopneumonia diagnosed in our hospital from October 2021 to March 2025. According to the treatment regimen, patients were divided into two groups: the experimental group ( Results: Compared with the control group, the overall efficacy of the experimental group was significantly better (total effective rate: 93.3% vs. 80.0%, Conclusion: Methylprednisolone sodium succinate combined with azithromycin can effectively shorten the course of mycoplasma bronchopneumonia in children, improve clinical symptoms, reduce inflammatory responses, and enhance immune responses. Under the premise of ensuring safety, it has advantages over azithromycin alone and has good clinical application prospects.
