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

Cause of acute liver failure (ALF) in children remains elusive in almost 50% cases. It is caused by viral hepatitis, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, autoimmune diseases, drugs, and metabolic diseases. Recurrent ALF with intermittent recovery is caused by metabolic disorders such as fatty acid oxidation defects, respiratory chain disorders, or unknown repeat insult from diet, toxins, or viruses. Biallelic mutations in the neuroblastoma amplified sequence (NBAS) gene have recently been associated with infantile liver failure syndrome type 2. It is associated with ALF during intercurrent febrile illness and complete recovery with conservative management. A 12-year-old boy presented with history of recurrent ALF since infancy with complete recovery and no etiological clue. He was detected to have homozygous pathogenic variation in NBAS gene which has been recently described in the literature to be associated with recurrent ALF. This is the first such case report from India. During the episode of ALF, when he presented to us, he had acute kidney injury and status epilepticus. The association of other organs with NBAS protein deficiency-associated ALF needs to be established.
