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 injury can be seen in a myriad of disease states such as chronic alcoholism, hepatitis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. When considering acute liver injury in a young adult, the list of differential diagnoses is much more narrow. One rare cause can be acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a hematologic malignancy that can be seen in the young adult population. We present a rare case of an 18-year-old male with no prior medical history who presented with abdominal pain and nausea. A complete workup for acute liver injury aided us in uncovering a diagnosis of B-cell ALL. This case highlights the importance of a broad differential in acute liver injury and consideration of ALL as a cause of acute liver injury, especially in young adults.
