Acute severe autoimmune hepatitis with anti-rods and rings autoantibodies; literature first evidence.
Article in Gastroenterology and hepatology from bed to bench, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) was defined as a progressive, chronic inflammatory autoimmune liver disease (ALD). The diagnosis of AIH requires the presence of characteristic clinical and laboratory features, and the exclusion of other clinical conditions that cause chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. AIH can have an acute onset that mimics an acute viral or toxic hepatitis or an acute severe (fulminant, ASF) presentation that satisfies criteria for acute liver. Guidelines from the European Association for the Study of Liver Diseases define ALF with absence of pre-existing liver disease, acute onset of ≤ 26 weeks, coagulopathy (international normalised ratio (INR) ≥ 1.5), and presence of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). In recent years, autoantibodies (Aab) targeting subcellular structures described as the rods and rings (R&R) pattern in HEp-2 ANA have been presented as a unique and particular case of Aab generation. These R&R structures are composed of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase type 2 (IMPDH2), and their formation can be induced
