Acute hepatitis of unknown aetiology in children: a clinical update on the recent outbreak with mechanistic insights.
Review in Clinical and experimental immunology, 2023. 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
Since April 2022, over 1000 children across 35 countries have developed episodes of acute hepatitis of unknown origin. At King's College Hospital, a total of 65 children were referred with acute hepatitis of unknown etiology, with 10 of these children presenting with acute liver dysfunction leading to acute liver failure. Multiple hypotheses have been proposed and continue to be investigated worldwide. In this review, we explore the current understanding of potential aetiologies for this outbreak. We further characterize the proposed immunological mechanisms of liver injury in these cases.
