Hepatic Encephalopathy Caused by Long-Term Amiodarone Use.
Article in Cureus, 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
This case describes a 72-year-old Japanese woman with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia who had received a total of 215 g of amiodarone over six years and presented with hepatic encephalopathy. The abdominal non-contrast computed tomography showed diffusely increased attenuation of the liver parenchyma. The liver biopsy revealed drug-induced steatohepatitis. No genetic variations in the urea cycle were found. She was ultimately diagnosed with drug-induced steatohepatitis and urea cycle abnormalities caused by long-term amiodarone use. Amiodarone may cause drug-induced steatohepatitis and urea cycle abnormalities, which could induce hyperammonemia. Although case reports of amiodarone-induced hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy have already been reported, we present a typical picture of an amiodarone-induced bright liver, including the mechanism of amiodarone-induced hyperammonemia, to provide an educational learning point for many readers.
