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

Background: Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a rare, unpredictable hepatic adverse event and the most common cause of acute liver failure in Europe and the US. Ribociclib is a potent Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6)-inhibitor administered for advanced hormone-receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer. Previous reports have shown hepatotoxicity without liver necrosis related to ribociclib. Case presentation: A 41-year-old female patient with primary metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer developed liver enzyme elevation under treatment with ribociclib. Ribociclib was withdrawn 8 weeks after initiation due to liver enzyme elevation. A liver biopsy, performed due to further enzyme increase (peak ALT 2836 U/l), onset of jaundice (peak bilirubin 353 µmol/l) and coagulopathy (INR 1.8) two weeks later, revealed acute hepatitis with 30% parenchymal necrosis. Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM) score was 7 points (probable). Under treatment with prednisone (60mg), initiated 2 weeks after drug withdrawal, and subsequently N-acetylcysteine (Prescott regimen) liver enzymes normalized within 8 weeks along with prednisone tapering. Conclusion: This case illustrates the development of a severe idiosyncratic hepatocellular pattern DILI grade 3 (International DILI Expert Working Group) induced by ribociclib. Routine liver enzyme testing during therapy, immediate hepatologic work-up and treatment interruption in case of liver enzyme elevation are highly recommended. Corticosteroid treatment should be considered in cases of severe necroinflammation.
