Human herpesvirus 6B encephalitis in a liver transplant recipient: A case report and review of the literature.
Review in Transplant infectious disease : an official journal of the Transplantation Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) encephalitis in a liver transplant recipient is rarely reported. In this report, we presented a case of HHV-6B encephalitis in a liver transplant recipient and reviewed the relevant literature. A 56-year-old man was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with an acute headache and intermittent convulsion 17 days after liver transplantation. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) revealed 30691 sequence reads of HHV-6B and real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) of the CSF detected HHV-6B DNA at 12 000 copies/mL, so the patient was diagnosed with HHV-6B encephalitis and received ganciclovir treatment promptly. The condition of the patient improved well and returned to the general ward with no neurologic deficits. This case indicated that adequate awareness, early diagnosis, and timely treatment are crucial to a good prognosis of HHV-6B encephalitis after liver transplantation.
