MERS associated with bacterial translocation in a pediatric patient with congenital portal vein hypoplasia: A case report.

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 case of mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) in a female child who developed bacterial translocation from a congenital portal vein hypoplasia is reported. The patient was diagnosed as having portal hypertension after examinations and laboratory results showing splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia at the age of 1 year. The patient required three endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) surgeries before the age of 9 due to development of multiple esophageal varices. After the second and third EVL procedures, she developed septicemia, possibly due to bacterial translocation associated with the administration of general anesthesia. The day after the third EVL, the patient presented with high fever and neurological disturbances (altered consciousness). Magnetic resonance imaging detected abnormal intensities in the corpus callosum ampulla and cerebral white matter, which suggested a diagnosis of MERS type 2. Considering this clinical course, the possible association between bacterial translocation and MERS in a patient with congenital portal vein hypoplasia and portal hypertension is discussed.
