An Unusual Case of Pylephlebitis With the Involvement of Portal and Superior Mesenteric Veins.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Pylephlebitis is a low-incidence condition worldwide, more commonly affecting the adult population. Its clinical presentation is nonspecific, thus requiring a detailed clinical history and confirmation through imaging studies (contrast-enhanced computed tomography). The literature recommends antibiotic treatment for at least six weeks and the use of anticoagulants. When diagnosed and treated early, the prognosis is generally favorable. This report presents a case of pylephlebitis with clinical symptoms of fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. The patient was diagnosed with pylephlebitis involving the right and left portal veins and the superior mesenteric vein. She showed clinical improvement following treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics and anticoagulants.
