Weil's Disease: A Rare Cause of Jaundice.
Article in Cureus, 2020. 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
Weil's disease is a complication of untreated leptospirosis and can be fatal. Awareness of leptospirosis and its hepatic manifestations are limited. We report the case of a 50-year-old man with gastrointestinal symptoms and a cholestatic pattern of liver injury diagnosed with Weil's disease. The patient showed remarkable improvement after treatment with appropriate antibiotics with normalization of liver function in one month. This case highlights the importance of recognizing leptospirosis and its myriad presentations.
