Cyclophosphamide-induced liver injury during treatment of interstitial lung disease in juvenile dermatomyositis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A middle-childhood aged girl with recently diagnosed MDA5+ juvenile dermatomyositis complicated by interstitial lung disease presented with diffuse abdominal pain and scleral icterus following the initiation of cyclophosphamide therapy. A laboratory workup revealed elevated liver enzymes and hyperbilirubinaemia. She was admitted for worsening liver function, and all medications were held with concern for drug-induced liver injury. A workup for infectious and autoimmune causes of transaminitis was negative. A liver biopsy revealed diffuse apoptotic cells without evidence of portal obstruction. A diagnosis of cyclophosphamide-induced liver injury was made. She was initiated on intravenous methylprednisolone with a steroid taper, leading to recovery. Cyclophosphamide was replaced by tofacitinib and abatacept for control of interstitial lung disease, which was well tolerated. Although cyclophosphamide in high doses may cause sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, hepatocellular liver injury is rare. Here to our knowledge, we present the first case report of hepatocellular injury caused by intravenous cyclophosphamide in a paediatric patient with a rheumatic condition.
