Transient immune hepatitis as post-coronavirus disease complication: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
backgroundWe report a case of post-coronavirus disease (COVID) immune hepatitis occurring in a young male with no pre-existing comorbidities. CASE SUMMARY: A previously healthy 21-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with mild COVID-19. During the course of in-hospital isolation and monitoring, he developed an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) increase, with the enzymes peaking at day 24 (ALT 15 times the upper normal limit), with preserved liver function. The liver enzyme increase occurred 20 d after the complete clinical remission of COVID-19, and ALT dynamics paralleled the increase in total antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The case was interpreted as post-COVID immune hepatitis, with extensive laboratory investigations excluding other potential causes. The hepatocytolysis remitted 20 d after the peak ALT, without further intervention, with complete recovery, but the total anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies continued to increase the next 5 mo following the acute infection.
conclusionClose attention should also be paid to young patients with mild forms of disease, and a high index of suspicion should be maintained for post-COVID complications.
