Neurological Recovery After Recovery From Acute Liver Failure: Is it Complete?
Review in Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Neurologic dysfunction characterised by Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) and cerebral oedema are the most dramatic presentations of Acute Liver Failure (ALF) and signify poor outcome. Improved critical care and wider availability of emergency Liver Transplantation (LT) has improved survivability in ALF. In most cases absence of clinically overt encephalopathy after spontaneous recovery from ALF or after LT is thought to indicate complete neurologic recovery. Recent data suggests that neurologic recovery may not always be complete. Instances of persistent neurologic dysfunction as well as neuropsychiatric abnormalities are now being recognised and warrant active follow up of these patients. Although evidences irreversible neurologic damage is uncommon after ALF, neuropsychiatric disturbances are not uncommon. Complex pathogenesis is involved in neurocognitive disorders seen after many other conditions including LT that require critical care. Structural damage and persistent neurological abnormalities seen after ALF are more likely to be related to cerebral edema, raised intracranial tension and cerebral hypoxemia, while neurocognitive dysfunctions may be a part of a wider spectrum of disorders commonly seen among those who recover from any critical illness.
