Reactivation of Human Herpesvirus (HHV) 6 as Etiology of Acute Liver Injury in Drug Reaction With Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare drug-related disease. Key clinical components include fever, rash, eosinophilia, lymphadenopathy, hepatitis, and other end-organ damage. The pathophysiology of this disease is not fully understood. Viral reactivation has been implicated to be a component of the disease process. We report the case of a 21-year-old patient diagnosed with DRESS syndrome found to have the presence of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV 6) in both blood and biopsied liver tissue supporting viral hepatitis as the cause of liver injury in DRESS.
