Splenic Infarcts in an Adult Male with Epstein-Barr Virus Infection: A Rare Complication.
Article in Oman medical journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Splenic infarction is an extremely rare complication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. We report a case of a healthy young man who presented with fever and pharyngitis and was diagnosed with acute EBV infection. During his hospital stay, he developed sudden left upper quadrant abdominal pain. Computed tomography scan of the abdomen demonstrated hepatosplenomegaly and multiple splenic hypodense lesions suggestive of infarcts. The patient was managed conservatively and discharged on prophylactic anticoagulation therapy. He is currently under close clinical follow up to minimize the risk of splenic rupture. We aim to highlight the importance of suspecting splenic infarction in patients presenting with fever, splenomegaly, and new onset abdominal pain, particularly in the setting of an ongoing or recent EBV infection.
