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

backgroundInfantile liver failure syndrome-2 (ILFS2) is caused by neuroblastoma amplified sequence (NBAS) mutation. The disease is characterized by recurrent episodes of acute liver failure (ALF) or by liver crisis triggered by recurrent episodes of fever and complete recovery. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we describe the case of a Chinese girl with typical clinical manifestation of ILFS2 without exhibition of extrahepatic involvement. The patient harbored novel compound heterozygous mutations in the NBAS region (c.3386C > T (p.Ser1129Phe), c.1A > C (p.Met1Leu) and c.875G > A (p.Gly292Glu)), mutations which have not been previously reported. After administration of antipyretics and intravenous glucose and electrolyte administration, the patient recovered fully.

conclusionThrough the present study, we recommend that ILFS2 should be taken into consideration during the differential diagnosis of children with recurrent, fever-triggered ALF. While the definitive diagnosis of ILFS2 remains dependent on genetic sequencing and discovery of NBAS, early antipyretic treatment is recommended to prevent liver crisis.
