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

Introduction: Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a rare and chronic autoimmune liver disease characterized by the progressive destruction of small intrahepatic bile ducts that may eventually lead to cirrhosis. PBC with features of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) has rarely been reported in pediatric patients with genetic defects. We present the case of an adolescent with chromosome 14q24.1q24.2 deletion who was given the diagnosis of stage IV PBC with features of AIH. Case presentation: A 19-year-old male adolescent with multiple congenital abnormalities and an intellectual disability presented with abnormal liver enzymes levels and pruritus for more than 5 years. Laboratory examinations revealed elevated levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase. After the exclusion of viral hepatitis, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, Wilson's disease, and other genetic cholestatic liver diseases by laboratory tests and whole exome sequencing, a liver biopsy was performed and stage IV PBC was diagnosed. Notably, features of AIH were also noted in the histopathological report, indicating the presence of PBC with AIH features. The patient responded well to a combination therapy of ursodeoxycholic acid and steroids. Array comparative genomic hybridization analysis performed to study the congenital abnormalities revealed a 3.89 Mb 14q24.1q24.2 deletion. Conclusion: PBC with AIH features has rarely been reported in an adolescent with a chromosomal abnormality. The present case can increase awareness for early-onset PBC and its possible correlation with chromosomal defects.
