Prognostic factors for remission, relapse, and treatment complications in type 1 autoimmune hepatitis.
Article in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimAutoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a rare chronic form of hepatitis, the prognosis for which has not been definitively established. The current study aimed to define the prognostic factors for remission and compare the median time to remission, complications, and relapse rate between type 1 AIH patients treated with prednisolone monotherapy and those treated using prednisolone in combination with azathioprine. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe data of 86 patients diagnosed with type 1 AIH between January 1998 and January 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical, serological, and histological parameters were obtained. Cox-proportional hazard and logistic regression analyses were applied to the data.
resultsThe prognostic factors related to complete remission were absence of liver cirrhosis, hypertension, and azathioprine exposure. The median time to complete remission of the prednisolone group (92 days; 95%CI; 65-264 days) was significantly shorter (
conclusionsThe absence of liver cirrhosis and hypertension at the time of diagnosis and no azathioprine exposure during the treatment period were favorable prognostic factors for complete remission. The prednisolone group had a significantly shorter median time to complete remission but higher rates of treatment complications and a higher relapse rate than the combination group.
