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 a common infection in young adults. It typically presents with a self-limiting course characterized by fevers, pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy. While mildly elevated liver enzymes are a common complication, cholestatic hepatitis and clinical jaundice are rare in EBV infection. This report describes the case of a young woman who developed EBV-related infectious mononucleosis, accompanied by cholestatic hepatitis and jaundice. The patient presented with fever, sore throat, and whitish, loose stools. She exhibited yellowing of ocular conjunctivae and skin, enlarged tonsils with white patches, and palpable liver. Laboratory findings showed leukocytosis with atypical lymphocytes, hyperbilirubinemia, and significantly elevated liver enzymes. A computed tomography scan revealed hepatosplenomegaly and subserosal gallbladder edema. The patient was diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis, complicated with cholestatic hepatitis and jaundice. Serologic testing confirmed the presence of EBV infection. Her condition and laboratory results improved without specific treatment. Infectious mononucleosis due to EBV, though rarely presenting with jaundice, should be considered in young individuals with fever and sore throat to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary investigations.
