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

We report a case of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). A 47-year-old woman was diagnosed with PSC. One year later, she was admitted to our hospital for jaundice and fatigue. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) showed worsening of the biliary stricture, and rapidly progressive anemia developed simultaneously. Based on the various laboratory findings, she was diagnosed with AIHA. The administration of prednisolone improved not only the anemia but also the biliary stricture. This case is impactful, as there are few case reports of PSC with AIHA. In addition, we were able to observe the changes in imaging findings using MRCP over time.
