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

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a liver disease of idiopathic origin, displaying a diverse and varied nature, which leads to cholestasis. It is characterized by continuous, advancing inflammation and fibrosis in the bile ducts. PSC is closely linked with inflammatory bowel disease and poses a risk for colon, bile duct, and gallbladder cancer. Unfortunately, there is currently no effective medical treatment available for this condition. In some cases, the disease may progress to end-stage liver failure, making liver transplantation a possible necessity for affected individuals. PSC association with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is very rare. This is a case of PSC that is overlapped with AIH. Screening colonoscopy showed colitis, and a biopsy was consistent with ulcerative colitis without any colitis symptoms, emphasizing the need for ruling out any other associated conditions, which respond well to the effective treatment to avoid morbidity and mortality in PSC.
