Drug-induced liver injury due to tofacitinib: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDrug-induced liver injury is an acute or chronic liver damage in response to drugs, herbals, and any chemical compound. CASE PRESENTATION: In the present work, liver failure following the use of tofacitinib was reported. The patient was an 18-year-old iranian woman without any history of underlying disease. She complained of alopecia areata, and tofacitinib was administered for disease management. Following adherence to tofacitinib medication, partial recovery was obtained. At the time of hospitalization, the patient had a stable condition and only anorexia, jaundice, and elevation of liver enzymes were reported. During hospitalization, liver injury progressed and liver transplantation was suggested. After drug-induced liver injury diagnosis, the use of the drug was discontinued and the patient underwent supportive treatment. The patient recovered without any severe sequelae.
conclusionsTofacitinib is a Janus kinase inhibitor that is useful in the treatment of disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. Until now, the severe side effect of this drug has not been reported and in most cases it is used as a last resort, but here we report a rare side effect of this drug.
