An adolescent with hereditary spherocytosis who presented with splenic infarction.
Review in BMJ case reports, 2015. 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
A 16-year-old male patient with known hereditary spherocytosis presented with a 4-day history of chest pain and lethargy. On admission, he had a low-grade fever and was grossly anaemic; examination revealed splenomegaly. An ultrasound scan confirmed splenomegaly with areas of splenic infarction. Subsequent tests suggested possible Epstein-Barr virus infection. The patient recovered well and had a functional spleen on discharge. This case report presents an unusual complication of isolated hereditary spherocytosis.
