Innumerable Liver Masses in a Patient with Autoimmune Hepatitis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis Overlap Syndrome.

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
BACKGROUND In patients with the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), the presence of cholestatic features raise the possibility of an overlap syndrome with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Here, we present a unique case with AIH-PSC overlap syndrome and innumerable liver masses. CASE REPORT A 26-year-old man presented with generalized icterus. Based on the serological findings of hypergamainmunoglobulinemia and positive anti-nuclear antibody tests, together with an abnormal cholangiogram, he was diagnosed with overlap syndrome (AIH-PSC). Liver imaging revealed innumerable liver masses with a benign appearance in the pathological evaluation. To rule out the colon abnormalities that usually coexist with such liver masses, colonoscopy was performed and showed no significant changes. The liver masses were nonmalignant and were resolved after immunosuppressant therapy. CONCLUSIONS Because AIH-PSC overlap syndrome is rare, it is suggested that radiological evaluation of the biliary tree should be performed routinely in adults diagnosed with AIH to reduce the missed diagnosis of overlap syndrome and liver masses.
