Bismuth Subcitrate, Metronidazole and Tetracycline - A Rare Cause of Drug-Induced Liver Injury.
Article in European journal of case reports in internal medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a liver condition caused by any drug or toxic substance. The spectrum of DILI manifestations can range from asymptomatic elevation of liver enzymes to acute liver failure. Antibiotics are one of the major causes of DILI. The authors report the case of a 37-year-old male with nausea, right hypochondrium pain and fever with history of bismuth subcitrate, metronidazole and tetracycline combination treatment in the previous five days. DILI was suspected and other aetiologies of acute hepatitis were excluded such as viral, autoimmune or even haemochromatosis and Wilson's disease. Liver biopsy was performed, being compatible with the diagnosis of DILI; DILI is a diagnosis of exclusion. Bismuth subcitrate, metronidazole and tetracycline combination treatment is a rare cause of DILI. LEARNING POINTS: Bismuth subcitrate, metronidazole and tetracycline in combination is a rare cause of drug-induced liver injury (DILI).DILI is an exclusion diagnosis.Liver biopsy has an important role in the diagnosis of DILI.
