Atraumatic Splenic Rupture Associated With Epstein-Barr Virus: A Case Report.
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
Infectious mononucleosis, caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), is typically self-limiting but can lead to rare, life-threatening complications such as atraumatic splenic rupture (ASR). We report the case of a 16-year-old female presenting with left upper quadrant pain and peritoneal signs. The initial laboratory findings revealed grade I anemia and leukocytosis. Images obtained by simple CT revealed the presence of free intra-abdominal fluid and a perisplenic hematoma. This raised the diagnostic suspicion of splenic rupture in the context of an acute EBV infection. Emergency splenectomy was required due to hemodynamic instability. The patient recovered well postoperatively. ASR, though uncommon, demands prompt recognition and management in mononucleosis patients with abdominal symptoms and potential circulatory compromise.
