Primary Epstein-Barr Virus Infection in an Adolescent Female Complicated by Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is estimated to infect greater than 98% of adults worldwide and is one of the most common human viruses. EBV infection can lead to acute infectious mononucleosis characterized by fever, fatigue, malaise, sore throat, and lymphadenopathy. Elevated liver function tests (LFTs) and hepatosplenomegaly may also be present. This infection usually lasts over a period of weeks or months and is self-limited. Infected individuals, however, may suffer rare complications. Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is an atypical complication of infectious mononucleosis. The case of a young healthy adolescent female with primary EBV infection complicated by AAC is reported. Providers should be aware that many pediatric and adult cases of AAC due to EBV resolve with conservative treatment. Surgical intervention has not been described as necessary or indicated in the context of AAC caused by EBV and should only be considered in severe cases that are not responding to conservative therapy.
