Splenic infarction after Epstein-Barr virus infection in a patient with hereditary spherocytosis.
Article in International journal of hematology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
We describe the first patient with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) known to have developed splenic infarction following infectious mononucleosis (IM). An 18-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital in November 2004 because of continuous fever and icterus. He had undergone cholecystectomy at the age of 14 years. On patient admission in November 2004, a physical examination showed marked hepatosplenomegaly, icterus, and jaundice. He had a white blood cell count of 14.9 x 10(9)/L with 9.5% atypical lymphocytes, a red blood cell count of 2.93 x 10(12)/L, and a hemoglobin concentration of 7.8 g/dL. Microspherocytes were observed in the patient's peripheral blood smear, and immunoglobulin M antibody to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viral capsid antigen was detected. The patient's diagnosis was HS with IM. On day 4 of admission, the patient complained of severe abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography scanning revealed findings of splenic infarction. Two months after the occurrence of splenic infarction, a splenectomy was performed. A pathohistologic examination of the resected spleen revealed no evidence of thrombosis or arterial occlusion. We assume that the cause of splenic infarction was insufficient blood flow to oxygenate the entire spleen during the acute enlargement of the spleen.
