Scrub Typhus Leading to Acute Liver Failure in a Pregnant Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2020. 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
Scrub typhus is a mite-borne rickettsial infection that presents with fever and a diverse array of complications. Lately, many epidemics have been reported from the Indian subcontinent. Data from these outbreaks suggest that liver injury in scrub typhus is common and reversible. We are reporting the case of a 27-year-old pregnant female who presented with fever, encephalopathy, jaundice and seizure. She had acute liver failure and dead fetus on admission. Despite appropriate antibiotics and supportive treatment, she continued to deteriorate and developed multiorgan dysfunction, leading to her demise.
