Sporadic Fusobacterium Bacteremia as an Atypical Cause of Acute Hepatitis in a Young Caucasian Woman.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Fusobacterium species are gram-negative anaerobic non-spore-forming bacteria, which colonize mucous membranes in humans. Over the recent decade, the significance of these organisms has been increasingly recognized. We describe a rare case of acute hepatitis, which was found to be likely due to Fusobacterium nucleatum, grown on blood culture. In our case, the hepatitis caused by this microorganism resolved completely without any long-term sequelae to the liver, through conservative management namely intravenous antibiotics and supportive therapy only. This case highlights that early detection and prompt treatment in a case of acute hepatitis resulted in a good outcome. In addition, this case also illustrates that the differential diagnosis can be varied in cases of acute hepatitis.
