Successful Heat Stroke-Induced Pediatric Acute Liver Failure Treatment With N-Acetylcysteine Case Report.
Article in Critical care explorations, 2026. 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
backgroundPreviously healthy children are at risk of developing exertional heat stroke when experiencing extreme heat. Pediatric clinicians in primary care, emergency department, and critical care settings should be versed in the management of complications of exertional heat stroke. Pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) in the setting of heat stroke is rarely reported in published literature. CASE SUMMARY: A 9-year-old male presented with heat stroke-induced PALF. He initially presented to an emergency department for altered mental status. During his clinical course, despite appropriate identification and initial treatment of exertional heat stroke, his symptoms progressed, including ongoing agitation, hepatic encephalopathy, coagulopathy, and severe transaminase elevation meeting clinical criteria for PALF.
conclusionsHe was treated with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) with resolution of his PALF without complications. In this article, we review the patient's clinical course, the rationale for treatment with NAC, and the management of heat stroke-induced PALF.
