Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS): A Case Report and Narrative Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare and life-threatening syndrome of excessive inflammation and tissue destruction secondary to abnormal immune activation. The term macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is used when HLH develops in the setting of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA; formerly known as Still's disease), adult-onset Still's disease, or any other rheumatologic disorder. We present a case of a 21-year-old female with a known history of SJIA who presented to the hospital with fever, chills, myalgia, nausea, vomiting, and hypotension. Initial evaluation at the time of presentation suggested sepsis likely due to acute pyelonephritis, and the patient was started on antibiotics and intravenous fluid hydration. However, further workup suggested that her symptoms were non-infectious and were likely due to MAS, a rare complication of SJIA. We promptly diagnosed her, and she received a course of steroids and made an uneventful recovery.
