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

Background: The treatment of tuberculosis (TB) is known to cause liver injury, however, there is limited data to guide optimal treatment for patients with chronic liver disease. Methods: We undertook a retrospective case series of patients with chronic liver disease and TB disease. The primary objective was to determine if there was a difference in the incidence of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in patients with cirrhosis versus those with chronic hepatitis. Additionally, we sought to compare TB treatment outcomes, type and duration of therapy, and incidence of adverse events. Results: We included 56 patients (chronic hepatitis 40; cirrhosis 16). There were 33 patients (58.9%) who experienced DILI requiring treatment modification, with no significant difference between groups (65% versus 43.8%, Conclusions: The risk of DILI is high, especially with the use of isoniazid, in patients with TB and chronic liver disease. This risk can be effectively mitigated with no difference in treatment outcomes in the presence of cirrhosis.
