1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Elevated aminotransaminases and hyperbilirubinemia are common in primary Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection in the adult and pediatric population and the disease course is usually subclinical and self-limited. However, EBV-induced hepatitis is an uncommon diagnosis, accounting for less than 1% of acute hepatitis causes. Acute EBV-hepatitis usually affects immunocompromised and older populations, with nearly half of patients being aged greater than 60 years. Significantly elevated ferritin levels correlate with severe infection and have been associated with EBV complications such as infectious mononucleosis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. We present a case of isolated acute cholestatic EBV-hepatitis and hyperferritinemia in an adult immunocompetent patient.
