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

Autoimmune hepatitis is a rare form of chronic liver inflammation that begins as acute hepatitis and progresses to chronic liver disease. It presents with varied clinical features from acute hepatitis to chronic liver diseases like chronic viral hepatitis and alcoholic liver disease, making it difficult to diagnose in the absence of a high index of suspicion and adequate laboratory support. Autoimmune hepatitis is divided into two categories autoimmune hepatitis-1 and autoimmune hepatitis-2 based on the antibodies involved. We discuss the case of a 37-year-old woman who developed autoimmune hepatitis-1, with swelling and epigastric pain. These symptoms later progressed to liver cirrhosis leading to the death of the patient. Autoimmune hepatitis is extremely sensitive to immunosuppressive medication, it is necessary to maintain a high suspicion index for the disease because a prompt diagnosis can be an integral step toward a better prognosis of the disease. Keywords: autoimmune hepatitis; case reports; chronic hepatitis; liver cirrhosis.
