1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

This study analyses all cases of acute hepatitis E diagnosed in a southern Romanian hospital from 2019 to 2023. Patients with positive anti-HEV IgM antibodies were included in three groups: group A1-96 patients with probable HEV infection and ALT levels over 2.5-fold the upper limit of normal (ULN); group A2-44 patients with probable HEV infection and ALT levels under 2.5-fold ULN; group B-43 patients with probable HEV coinfection with another hepatotropic virus. Between 2019 and 2023, 642 patients were diagnosed with acute viral hepatitis. Positive anti-HEV IgM antibodies were detected in 183 (28.5%) cases, HEV being the second most common cause of acute viral hepatitis. Patients from group A were older than those from group B (47.26 ± 15.13 years vs. 35.95 ± 14.83 years,
