Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection: case report and literature review.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2019. 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
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is rare and life threatening syndrome. There are only a few reported cases of HLH with GI symptoms. We describe the case of an 18 months old boy who presented with a history of fever for 40 days, abdominal distention and hepatosplenomegaly. Abdominal x-ray showed a pneumoperitoneum. Urgent laparotomy was done which revealed an isolated cecal perforation. The histopathological findings in the subsequent resected bowel was HLH with evidence of positive EBV Barr infection.
