When Gas Replaces the Liver: A Rare Case of Successfully Treated Emphysematous Hepatitis.
Article in Case reports in gastrointestinal medicine, 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
Emphysematous hepatitis is a rare condition characterized by the presence of gas within the hepatic parenchyma. Only a limited number of cases have been reported, with most patients experiencing poor outcomes and median survival time ranging from hours to days after diagnosis. We present a case of a patient with uncontrolled diabetes, abdominal pain, and fatigue who was found to have emphysematous hepatitis. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotics and percutaneous drainage without the need for surgical intervention. This case represents the second reported instance of survival following percutaneous drainage, highlighting the potential efficacy of this minimally invasive approach.
