Splenic Infarction Associated with Sickle Cell Trait: A Diagnosis Based on a Characteristic History of Climbing Mt. Fuji, with a Brief Literature Review.
Review in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sickle cell trait (SCT) is typically asymptomatic, but high-altitude exposure and intense exertion can trigger complications, such as splenic infarction. We herein report the case of a 24-year-old African-American man of Haitian descent who developed flank pain after climbing Mt. Fuji. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed splenic infarction, and an anaerobic blood culture test demonstrated sickled red blood cells. High-performance liquid chromatography confirmed SCT. Of the 13 reported cases in Japan, 92.3% occurred on Mt. Fuji, and all involved foreigners, underscoring the risk posed by rapid ascent and hypoxia. Greater awareness, screening, and education are crucial for preventing these high-altitude complications.
