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

Antithyroid drug-induced severe liver injury is an uncommon but serious complication. We hereby delineate the case of a 38-year-old female who presented to the emergency department for an impending thyroid storm. After initiation of a single dose of propylthiouracil, her liver enzymes went into the thousands. She was subsequently admitted to the intensive care unit. Propylthiouracil was discontinued and corticosteroids were initiated with the resolution of her elevated liver enzymes. On follow-up, her liver function was at its baseline and thyroid hormone levels were under control. We hope this report will encourage clinicians to cast a broad differential diagnosis in patients presenting with liver injury in the acute setting. Furthermore, it is imperative to raise awareness regarding the ever-increasing list of pharmacologic agents that can perpetuate drug-induced hepatotoxicity.
