A Gut Feeling: Acute Liver Failure - An Unusual Manifestation of Malignant Catatonia.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 present a rare case in which malignant catatonia led to acute liver failure (ALF). A 19-year-old male was admitted for psychosis and developed ALF with a peak aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase of 5,728 U/L and 7,735 U/L, respectively, and a peak international normalized ratio of 7.1. Liver biopsy showed significant confluent necrosis involving >70% of the liver tissue. He was listed for a liver transplant but was ultimately taken off of because of significant improvement with treatment by N-acetylcysteine infusion. Through our research, we found that symptoms of hepatitis can be seen with psychotic disorders, but ALF is rare.
