Auto-brewery syndrome caused by oral fungi and periodontal disease bacteria.
Article in Acute medicine & surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundAuto-brewery syndrome (ABS) is often caused by fungi in the intestinal tract. We describe a rare case of alcohol production by CASE PRESENTATION: A man aged in his 60s had a car accident, and alcohol was detected on his breath. At the time, he exhibited alcohol overdose seizures with no alcohol consumption. We carried out a gastrointestinal endoscopy, detected esophageal candidiasis, and diagnosed ABS. His seizures continued despite using miconazole oral gel. Significant tooth decay, periodontal disease, and high
conclusionAlcohol can be produced by microorganisms in healthy individuals. Therefore, blood alcohol levels and alcohol-degrading enzyme functions should be examined in patients with unexplained liver dysfunction.
