Acute viral hepatitis E complicated with acute pancreatitis in an immunocompetent adult.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Acute viral hepatitis has been associated with several extrahepatic complications. Fulminant liver failure secondary to acute viral hepatitis may be complicated by acute pancreatitis. However, in the setting of benign viral hepatitis, in the absence of liver failure, association of pancreatitis is uncommon, that too in an otherwise immunocompetent individual. The exact mechanism of hepatitis-related pancreatitis remains elusive. Proposed mechanisms include immune-mediated injury against infected pancreatic acinar cells, oedema of the ampulla of Vater and release of lysosomal enzymes from the liver. A high index of clinical suspicion is needed in any case of viral hepatitis with severe abdominal pain to recognise acute pancreatitis as a possible complication, which may increase both morbidity and mortality if unrecognised. Herein, we report a case of a young man presenting with acute viral hepatitis due to hepatitis E infection, complicated by acute pancreatitis.
