Wilson's Disease in a 17-Year-Old Male With Sickle Cell Trait: A Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This case report describes the atypical presentation of Wilson's disease in a 17-year-old male with sickle cell trait AS pattern. The patient initially presented with fever, generalized weakness, and joint pain, leading to an inconclusive diagnosis and unsuccessful initial treatment. A comprehensive re-evaluation revealed vitamin-A deficiency, adenoid hypertrophy, splenomegaly, and acalculous cholecystitis. Elevated copper levels in the 24-hour urine test confirmed the diagnosis of Wilson's disease. Treatment was modified to include amikacin, prednisolone, and Zinconia®, with analgesics for joint pain management. This case emphasizes the need for a thorough diagnostic approach and consideration of overlapping conditions in complex presentations, contributing to improved patient outcomes.
