Possible Macrophage Activation Syndrome Caused by Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for Bacteremia Due to Chronic Cholelithiasis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Hypoglycemia is caused by various clinical diseases. Among older patients, occult bacteremia may cause critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI), triggering hypoglycemia. Additionally, older patients have various chronic medical and homeostatic conditions. Interventions may be needed when chronic conditions cause clinical diseases and CIRCI. Herein, we report a case of possible macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) caused by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for bacteremia due to chronic cholelithiasis in an 85-year-old man. Interventions for chronic conditions could impinge on homeostasis in older patients, causing acute conditions such as MAS. Among older frail patients with chronic conditions, interventions for chronic conditions should be discussed, including the triggering of other acute conditions, such as MAS.
