Acute Hepatitis A With Polyserositis and Acalculous Cholecystitis in an Adult: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection in adults is usually self-limited, yet atypical extrahepatic features may complicate the course. We report a 20-year-old male with fever, jaundice, and moderate ascites. Evaluation showed marked hepatocellular injury with direct-predominant hyperbilirubinemia and positive HAV IgM. Imaging demonstrated hepatosplenomegaly, bilateral pleural effusions, and gallbladder wall edema without calculi, consistent with acalculous cholecystitis; there was no encephalopathy. He received conservative management. After initial improvement, a transient mid-course bilirubin rebound occurred, compatible with self-limited intrahepatic cholestasis, followed by steady recovery. By three months, liver tests had normalized; HAV IgM remained weakly positive, and HAV IgG seroconversion was documented. This case highlights that adult HAV can rarely present with polyserositis and acalculous cholecystitis yet resolve without invasive therapy, and that cholestatic flares and delayed serologic evolution may accompany otherwise benign convalescence.
