Athlete's Hepatitis: A Case of a Young Healthy Male Developing Hypoxic Hepatitis After a Half-Marathon.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Athlete's hepatitis is a rare form of ischemic hepatitis caused by hypoxic liver injury during extreme physical exertion. We present the case of a 25-year-old healthy male who developed severe transaminitis after completing a half-marathon. He presented with syncope, hypotension, and hyperthermia, followed by markedly elevated liver enzymes. An extensive evaluation ruled out viral, toxic, and structural causes of liver injury. Conservative management led to full recovery, with liver enzymes normalizing within one week. This case highlights the liver's susceptibility to ischemic injury during intense exercise due to blood flow redistribution to active muscles. Although rare, athlete's hepatitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute liver injury in athletes. Early recognition and supportive care are essential for favorable outcomes.
