1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We report the case of a 65-year-old woman who presented with a 1-month history of progressive paraparesia associated with a thoracic lesion with irregular ring-like gadolinium enhancement. Biopsy of the lesion confirmed the demyelinating origin and brain magnetic resonance imaging showed additional lesions demonstrative of dissemination in space. Immunomodulatory therapy with glatiramer acetate (GA) was started after having a second relapse 2 months later. Shortly after initiation, the patient developed acute hepatitis. Liver function tests returned to normal values 5 months after discontinuation and the patient was diagnosed with drug-induced liver injury (DILI) associated with GA. A literature review identified 11 previous cases of GA-related liver injury associated with two specific mechanisms: DILI (seven cases) and autoimmune hepatitis (four cases). Despite the fact that GA hepatic toxicity is uncommon and laboratory monitoring is not required during GA therapy, it should be considered at least in some special conditions such as comorbidities and previous history of DILI associated with other drugs.
