Distinguishing Autoimmune Hepatitis From Steatohepatitis in Adolescents With Obesity and Positive Screening Alanine Aminotransferase.
Article in JPGN reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Screening children with obesity for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease leads to identification of elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and is a common cause for referral to pediatric gastroenterology. Guidelines recommend that children with positive screening ALT be evaluated for causes of ALT elevation beyond nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. One clinical challenge is that autoantibodies can be present in patients with obesity and thus may or may not represent autoimmune hepatitis. This case series highlights the importance of a comprehensive evaluation to reach an accurate diagnosis.
