Case Report: Acute Hepatitis E in a Pediatric Traveler Presenting with Features of Autoimmune Hepatitis: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge.
Review in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is globally the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis. In industrialized countries, HEV infection can be seen in travelers returning from hyperendemic countries or in individuals at risk for autochthonous infection due to zoonotic exposure. Hepatitis E virus infection is often unrecognized and at times misdiagnosed because of nonspecific findings that can overlap with other causes of hepatitis, including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Although most cases of acute HEV infection resolve spontaneously and do not require treatment, life-threatening acute liver failure may occur in some cases. We discuss the case of an 8-year-old boy returning from Bangladesh with progressive acute liver injury and a clinical profile suggestive of AIH, who showed a favorable response to corticosteroid treatment before the diagnosis of an acute HEV infection could be established.
