Emphysematous hepatitis: A case report and review of literature.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Emphysematous hepatitis (EH) is a recently described gas forming liver infection, often associated with diabetes mellitus. It is often associated with poor prognosis, with rapidly fatal course in most reported cases. Its diagnosis is based on CT findings when an extensive gas replacing the liver parenchyma is present. We report the case of a 77-year-old woman with history of diabetes mellitus who presented in the emergency department with acute onset of cutaneomucous jaundice and fever, and in whom an abdominopelvic CT scan showed findings consistent with emphysematous hepatitis. EH is a rare condition with high mortality rate, however early diagnosis can be crucial in order to decrease mortality.
