Severe Mpox-Associated Proctocolitis Mimicking Opportunistic Colitis in a Liver Transplant Recipient.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 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
Mpox infection increasingly manifests with anorectal disease during the recent global outbreak. Severe ulcerative proctocolitis in solid-organ transplant recipients remains rarely described. We report a 37-year-old liver transplant recipient with well-controlled HIV infection (CD4 count 661 cells/µL [35%] and HIV RNA <20 copies/mL) presenting with severe watery diarrhea, rectal pain, disseminated vesiculopustular lesions, and inflammatory proctocolitis on imaging and endoscopy. Histopathology demonstrated ulceration and cryptitis without viral inclusions, while extensive infectious evaluation was negative. Polymerase chain reaction testing of a cutaneous lesion was positive for mpox virus. Symptoms improved with supportive care and reduction of immunosuppression. This case highlights mpox as an important diagnostic consideration in immunocompromised patients presenting with severe ulcerative proctocolitis, including patients with preserved CD4 immunity and virologically suppressed HIV infection.
