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

We describe a case of acute liver failure in a woman in whom a diagnosis was initially unable to be established. The patient rapidly deteriorated, requiring admission to the intensive care unit, and was placed under consideration for liver transplantation. On consultation with the infectious disease service, thorough history taking was performed that uncovered salient epidemiologic information pointing toward the eventual diagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis. We discuss aspects of diagnosis and management, including the management of immune reconstitution syndrome which complicated treatment.
