Characteristics of Drug-Induced Liver Injury in Northeast China: Disease Spectrum and Drug Types.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to determine the disease spectrum and drug types causing drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in northeast China, so that the affected population can be reminded of the need to increase their post-medication monitoring.
methodsA total of 470 DILI patients hospitalized at Shengjing Hospital between 2013 and 2016 were involved in this retrospective study.
resultsThere were significant differences in the disease spectrum of the different age groups (P < 0.001) and genders (P = 0.009). Drugs used to treat osteopathies, dermatitis and infections, as well as health care supplements, each accounted for > 10% of all drugs that caused DILI. The percentage of DILIs related to Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) gradually increased with patient age (P = 0.002). The percentage of males taking health supplements or CHMs was significantly lower compared with females. Total bilirubin (β = 0.01, OR = 1.01, P < 0.001) and INR (β = 0.74, OR = 2.11, P < 0.001) were found to be independent predictors of liver damage.
conclusionsThe main type of drug that causes DILI in northeast China is a CHM. There are differences in the disease spectrum found in DILI patients of different ages and gender. Making appropriate changes in the drug-taking habits of high-risk groups and the drugs used to treat high-risk underlying diseases, as well as increasing patient monitoring, may help to reduce the incidence of DILIs.
