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

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a disorder that causes severe damage to the skin and mucous membranes with bullous and erosive properties. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is closely related to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen). Liver injury caused by ibuprofen is often related to overdose, and liver injury caused by normal dose is rare, and there are individual differences in different situations. In this case, a child developed SJS and acute liver injury after treatment with ibuprofen suspension. We described the characteristics of related adverse reactions induced by ibuprofen, and analyzed the relationship between SJS caused by the drug and related drug genes. Glucocorticoids and antihistamines were used to treat dermatitis, reduced glutathione (GSH) to protect the liver and plasma exchange detoxification. Finally, the patient's dermatitis healed and the liver injury was significantly improved. Many studies have suggested that DILI may be related to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotyping. The detection of drug-related genes revealed that the SJS and liver damage caused by ibuprofen might have been related to the positive HLA-B*5801. This article suggests that attention should be paid to checking liver function indicators after taking ibuprofen, and genetic screening can be used to reduce the risk of gene-related adverse reactions when necessary.
