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

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune disease in which the intrahepatic bile ducts are destroyed. Its symptoms include chronic fatigue, pruritus, steatorrhea, and jaundice, with variable clinical course. We are introducing a case of a 65-year-old woman with anorexia, weight loss, asthenia, and pruritus. The imaging studies revealed dilatation of the intrahepatic and common bile ducts and adenopathies at the level of the hepatoduodenal ligament, histologically compatible with reactive lymphadenitis. After the exclusion of neoplasia, she was referred to Internal Medicine where positivity was obtained for anti-mitochondrial autoantibodies suggestive of PBC. After the initiation of therapy, there was a resolution of the clinical symptoms and the adenopathies were no longer detected in subsequent studies. The authors intend to highlight this case, especially due to the presence of adenopathies and constitutional symptoms where PBC should also be considered, as a differential diagnosis.
