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

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a common cause of transaminitis in pregnancy. A 34-year-old G3P2012 presented 3 weeks postpartum for preeclampsia with severe features. After receiving acute antihypertensive medications, she was discharged home with labetalol. She presented 5 months later with general malaise, scleral icterus, nausea, and mild right upper quadrant pain and found to have significantly elevated transaminitis. She had a negative infectious, autoimmune, biliary, and steatohepatitis workup. A liver biopsy was performed supporting the diagnosis of DILI. After patient self-discontinued labetalol, her hepatitis significantly improved. However, she developed chronic DILI and liver enzymes normalized during her subsequent pregnancy at 34 weeks. Patient's written consent was obtained for this case report. Chronic DILI secondary to labetalol use is a rare and potentially fatal condition that should be considered on the differential for transaminitis during pregnancy and postpartum period.
