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 a novel association between the commonly used antimalarial medication atovaquone/proguanil and drug-induced autoimmune-like hepatitis. The patient developed severe liver disease fulfilling biochemical, immunologic, and histologic criteria for the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis after the inadvertent rechallenge with the offending drug, which had caused self-limited hepatitic symptoms a year previously. Over a period of 18 months, the patient underwent two follow-up liver biopsies showing progressive resolution of the liver inflammation and achieved complete biochemical and immunologic remission on steroids. This remission persisted for 20 months following treatment withdrawal.
