Autoimmune hepatitis and acquired partial lipodystrophy.
Article in Frontline gastroenterology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The lipodystrophies are an extremely rare group of metabolic conditions which are categorised based on their pathogenesis and phenotype. While primarily known for the striking loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue which they induce, they may also be associated with significant liver injury. In most cases, this results from the secondary deposition of lipid within hepatic parenchyma and is seen predominantly in generalised lipodystrophy. More rarely, patients may develop autoimmune hepatitis. We report a rare case of a 17-month-old boy who developed features of acquired partial lipodystrophy in association with anti-LKM1-positive autoimmune hepatitis following initial presentation with a Henoch-Schönlein purpura-like illness. We describe his challenging path to diagnosis and discuss his ongoing management in an effort to further our understanding of this rare but significant association. This report highlights the need for close clinical observation and a high index of suspicion for recognising early features of lipodystrophy.
