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

purpose of reviewDrug induced liver injury (DILI) is a complex diagnosis dominantly based of exclusion. RECENT

findingsCurrently available causality assessment instruments are considered to be suboptimal. Expert opinion appears to be best method to adjudicate causality, but is impractical to implement on a wide scale basis. Thus, new approaches are needed, for example improving the specificity of current scoring systems. A further option would be to develop a system that utilizes computer-based scoring - which would reduce human error. Additionally, it would be ideal to have available drug specific scoring systems, based on drugs' characteristic "phenotypes" (presentation and pattern of injury). Eventually, a validated system could be integrated within the electronic health information system. SUMMARY: This review highlights an avenue to an improved Causality Assessment Tool.
