Splenic Infarction Due to Epstein-Barr Virus: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Splenic infarction is a rare and likely underdiagnosed complication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated infectious mononucleosis (IM). Here, we describe an 18-year-old Guyanese male with persistent severe left-sided abdominal pain found to be EBV positive and have a large splenic infarct, along with a transient decrease in protein C, protein S, and antithrombin III activity levels. He was treated with supportive care and anticoagulated with heparin and apixaban. We review prior reports and perspectives on underlying pathophysiology, diagnosis, and the management of these cases, which likely do not require anticoagulation but may be considered on a per-case basis.
