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

A woman in her early 40s, with a history of excessive alcohol intake, presented with purpuric, ulcerative lesions on the lower limbs. On examination, hirsutism and generalized stiffening and thickening of the skin were noted. Laboratory investigations revealed hyperbilirubinemia, hypergammaglobulinemia and positive anti-smooth muscle antibodies. Histologic examination of the skin was compatible with scleroderma. Histologic examination of the liver was suggestive of autoimmune and alcoholic hepatitis. LEARNING POINTS: Alcohol intake is a main cause of hepatic disease but it is mandatory to exclude other causes.Autoimmune hepatitis and systemic sclerosis may be associated, therefore patients with these diseases should be monitored closely.There exist scores that can be helpful in the diagnosis of both autoimmune hepatitis and systemic sclerosis.
