An Uncommon Presentation of Autoimmune Hepatitis in a Child With Thalassemia Trait.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is quite rare in children. AIH is classified into two types based on the presence of autoantibodies: type 1 and type 2. The presentation of AIH varies, ranging from asymptomatic to acute or chronic hepatitis and occasionally fulminant liver failure. It can present at any age. In 20% of AIH cases, other autoimmune disorders might be present, such as diabetes mellitus and arthritis. A high index of suspicion is required for the early diagnosis of this condition. Pediatricians should consider the possibility of AIH in patients with jaundice once common causes are ruled out. The diagnosis is done on the basis of the presence of typical autoantibody titer, liver biopsy findings, and response to immunosuppressive medications. Some AIH patients may not respond to immunosuppressive therapy and may need a liver transplant. We present a case of a 12-year-old male child with thalassemia trait who was diagnosed with AIH.
