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

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a potentially fatal condition that adversely affects multiple organs and has a high mortality rate. ALF due to hepatic infiltration is rare even though it is a common place for cancer to metastasize. Patients with ALF usually present with abdominal pain and elevated liver function tests. We report a case of a 65-year-old male that developed ALF due to miliary liver metastasis of non-small cell carcinoma from an unknown primary origin. The patient initially presented with a couple of episodes of coffee-ground emesis and epigastric pain. Upon further evaluation, along with computed tomography (CT) scans and liver biopsy, the diagnosis was established. The patient passed away on the 12
