Acute Hepatitis E Virus Infection Triggering Autoimmune Hepatitis in a Patient With Chronic Liver Disease: Case Report and the Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Acute viral hepatitis E (HEV) is the most common form of acute viral hepatitis in India. It is associated with self-limiting disease in most cases. However, the chronic form of HEV is also being increasingly recognized. Other viral infections like the hepatitis A virus (HAV) have been implicated in inciting autoimmune hepatitis. HEV infection has been associated with the formation of circulating liver-directed autoantibodies, however autoimmune liver disease following acute HEV infection has been rarely reported. Here we present a case of a 72-year-old diabetic lady who presented to us with an asymptomatic rise of liver enzymes. Investigations suggested metabolic dysfunction associated with steatotic liver disease. After three months of the diagnosis, she developed acute-on-chronic liver failure and her anti-HEV came out positive. She was managed accordingly. Afterwards patient had persistent high liver enzymes, so she underwent a liver biopsy. Her liver biopsy was compatible with autoimmune hepatitis.
