Extraneurological Presentations of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus: A Rare Case of TBEV-Associated Myocarditis With Fever and Bicytopenia and a Systematic Literature Review.
Article in Case reports in infectious diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Purpose: Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), a zoonotic disease caused by the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), usually manifests with a biphasic course with neurological involvement during its second phase. Extraneurological manifestations are rare but clinically relevant. Methods: We report a case of a 77-year-old patient with suspected acute myocarditis associated with central European TBEV infection and summarize the literature on extraneurological TBEV manifestations through a systematic review. Results: The case of a 77-year-old patient with suspected acute myocarditis associated with central European TBEV infection is reported and discussed. Literature analysis identified 23 publications reporting extraneurological TBEV manifestations, including (peri)myocarditis, myositis, hematological abnormalities, and elevated transaminases. Conclusion: TBEV infection can be complicated by myocarditis and should therefore be considered in the differential diagnosis in areas where TBEV is endemic in a patient with risk factors for tick bites. Vaccination remains crucial for preventing TBEV infections.
