Unraveling the Yellow Mystery: Severe Jaundice and Multisystem Collapse in a Returning Traveler.
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
We present the case of a 43-year-old male with recent travel history and possible toxic exposure abroad who was admitted with altered mental status following a seizure. His course was complicated by multiorgan dysfunction, including acute renal failure, rhabdomyolysis, acute pancreatitis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and severe jaundice. Extensive infectious and autoimmune workup was unrevealing. Imaging revealed hepatosplenomegaly, hemorrhagic ascites, and progressive pancreatic inflammation. Liver biopsy demonstrated cirrhosis with cholestasis, ballooning degeneration, Mallory hyaline, and bridging fibrosis. Despite supportive care, the patient developed hemorrhagic pancreatitis with retroperitoneal gas, concerning for pancreatic gas gangrene. Surgical intervention was not feasible, and the patient ultimately succumbed to his illness. This case underscores the diagnostic complexity and rapidly fatal potential of overlapping hepatic and pancreatic pathologies in the setting of unclear toxic or environmental exposures.
