Acute Epstein-Barr Virus-Related Myopericarditis in an Immunocompetent Young Adult.
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
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a highly prevalent infection that typically presents as a self-limiting, mild illness. In rare cases, EBV infection can cause life-threatening complications, including myopericarditis. This case report describes a 20-year-old male who developed EBV-associated myopericarditis leading to left ventricular thrombus. This embolized to the gastrointestinal tract, leading to bowel necrosis, septic shock, and admission to a medical intensive care unit. EBV-associated myopericarditis is a rare occurrence, especially for immunocompetent young patients. Thrombus formation in this context is even rarer. This case highlights possible cardiovascular complications of active EBV infection. Clinicians should be aware of the wide array of EBV-associated conditions and maintain suspicion of cardiovascular involvement in the hospital. Patients should be treated at facilities equipped to manage potential cardiovascular involvement if it is suspected.
