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

Purpose: The aim of this work was to study Kayser-Fleischer [KF]-like rings in patients with hepatic or cholestatic liver disease and to find out the relation between serum bilirubin level and the presence of KF like ring in these patients. Methods: In this study, we evaluated patients with hepatic and cholestatic liver diseases with total Serum bilirubin levels >10 mg/dl. These patients were evaluated for the presence or absence of KF like ring. Results: A total of 67 patients with total bilirubin >10 mg/dl were included in the study. Patients were divided into 3 groups based on total S. bilirubin level: Group 1 with S. bilirubin >30 mg/dl, Group 2 with S. bilirubin >20 - <30 mg/dl and Group 3 with S. bilirubin >10 - <20 mg/dl at baseline evaluation. On follow-up they were divided into 3 groups based on the serum bilirubin level. Group 1- >20 mg/dl, Group 2- >10 - <20 mg/dl, Group 3- <10 mg/dl. KF like ring was seen in 98.5% of patients with high total S. bilirubin level. KF like ring disappeared in 87.5% of patients with reduction in the total S. bilirubin level to less than 10 mg/dl. Conclusion: KF like ring was seen in 98.5% of patients with high total S. bilirubin, disappeared in 87.5% of patients with reduction in the total S. bilirubin level to less than 10 mg/dl. There was no significant difference between the Total S. bilirubin levels, age, gender and KF Like Ring.
