Autoimmune liver disease in a Nigerian woman.
Article in African health sciences, 2010. 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
Autoimmune liver diseases are chronic liver disease with similar clinical features to viral and non-autoimmune liver disorders but with distinct sero-autoimmunologic features. In developed countries, it accounts for about 20% of all liver transplantations in the USA. Most studies on liver disease in Nigeria centred on viral or alcohol aetiology with complete absence of data on autoimmune liver disease.We here report a case of a young woman with autoimmune hepatitis for the first time in Nigeria. The patient presented with features of chronic liver disease of neither viral nor alcoholic aetiology. The diagnosis was based on the presence of hypergammaglobulinaemia and auto-antibodies in the serum.We concluded that physicians should always bear in mind the possibility of autoimmune hepatitis in patients with features of chronic liver disease, especially when the viral markers are negative and there is no history of significant alcohol consumption.
