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

Drug-induced liver injury is an uncommon but life-threatening entity. Sunitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used for advanced and imatinib-refractory gastrointestinal stromal tumors. It causes transient elevation in liver enzymes. The incidence of fatal acute liver failure is rare. Five cases of sunitinib-induced acute liver injury have been reported in the literature thus far. We present a case of fatal acute liver failure and cardiomyopathy within 2 weeks of sunitinib therapy initiation for advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma. We believe our case is unique due to the rarity of its presentation. It highlights hepatotoxicity as a potentially fatal side effect of sunitinib therapy.
