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

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is one of the most common infections worldwide that presents with a multitude of symptoms such as lymphadenopathy, fever, and malaise and has associations with Hodgkin's lymphoma. EBV can cause elevations in transaminase values and hyperbilirubinemia; however, EBV will rarely cause hepatitis with cholestatic features. Here we report a case of a 15-year-old male with a past medical history of potential Gilbert's syndrome who presented with jaundice, scleral icterus, mild abdominal pain, and low-grade fever. Further work-up revealed elevated transaminase values, abnormal coagulation studies, and thrombocytopenia. The patient was monitored and diagnosed with EBV hepatitis, then treated with supportive therapy and IV vitamin K for the resolution of abnormal coagulopathy. The following report presents a patient with EBV hepatitis without the typical presentation of EBV, with a process for diagnosing and managing patients.
