Acute Dacryoadenitis due to Primary Epstein-Barr Virus Infection.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
We herein present the case of a 28-year-old male patient who presented with fever and bilateral upper eyelid edema without other upper airway symptoms and was diagnosed with acute dacryoadenitis due to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. The patient's medical history was unremarkable. Laboratory tests revealed lymphocytosis with atypical lymphocytes and abnormal liver function tests. Physical examination and computed tomography revealed swelling in the lacrimal glands, and serological tests confirmed EBV infection. Although rare, ocular symptoms of primary EBV infection are important for diagnosis. Acute dacryoadenitis should be considered as a rare manifestation and an underdiagnosed complication of primary EBV infection.
