An Acute Presentation of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Infection in an Immunocompromised Gentleman.
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
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a relevant cause of many clinical manifestations with a range of malignant and non-malignant presentations. This is particularly important to consider in immunosuppressed individuals. We present a case of a 36-year-old individual with ulcerative colitis who was in remission whilst taking mercaptopurine. The patient presented with weight loss, night sweats, and significant laboratory serum abnormalities on monitoring. Relevant investigations into his presentation ruled out a malignant feature, but his serology confirmed infection with EBV with the spread of infection to the liver and bone marrow. Overall, we identify a notable yet relevant clinical expression of EBV infection in the context of an immunosuppressed individual.
