Hepatitis of an Unknown Etiology with Concomitant ITP.
Article in Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) usually presents after decades of alcohol consumption and can even manifest with recent abstinence. The clinical presentation may be compounded by underlying liver cirrhosis and liver function enzymes are not a reliable means of diagnosing AH due to poor sensitivity and specificity. One feature of alcoholic hepatitis is thrombocytopenia; however, patients may also have thrombocytopenia due to another underlying condition, such as Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). ITP is an autoimmune disease caused by autoantibodies against platelet glycoproteins. ITP is a diagnosis of exclusion and secondary causes of thrombocytopenia must be ruled out with persistent thrombocytopenia that is refractory to treatment for AH. Although there is limited data demonstrating a correlation between AH and ITP, both conditions respond to steroids. We present a case of a 42 YO M with an unknown cause of hepatitis and concomitant ITP who responded well to steroids.
