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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsAcetaminophen (APAP) hepatotoxicity and ischemic hepatic injury (IH) demonstrate remarkably similar biochemical patterns. Deciding between these two etiologies in the setting of acute liver failure (ALF) can be challenging. We reviewed all cases in the Acute Liver Failure Study Group (ALFSG) registry where these diagnoses were considered, to determine reasons for, and frequency of, difficulties making these diagnoses. We hypothesized that the newly developed APAP-CYS adduct assay could help in discerning the correct diagnosis.
methodsAmong 3364 patients with ALF or acute liver injury (ALI: INR ≥ 2.0 but without encephalopathy) between 1998 and 2019, 1952 (58%) received a final diagnosis of either APAP (1681) or IH (271). We utilized a review committee of senior hepatologists as well as the APAP-CYS assay (where sera were available), measuring the presence of toxic by-products of APAP injury to optimize adjudication.
resultsWith these methods, a total of 575 adduct positive APAP cases included 488 recognized APAP, as well as an additional 87 patients previously diagnosed as other etiologies. Nine cases initially attributed to IH were deemed combination APAP-IH injuries. Conversely, 215 of the 280 IH subjects tested for adducts disclosed 173 confirmed as IH with adduct testing below the toxicity threshold, while 9 cases were revised from APAP to the IH-APAP combination phenotype, where both hypotension and APAP likely played a role.
conclusionsDiscerning APAP from IH can be difficult-in rare cases, combined injury is observed (18/1952). APAP-CYS testing resulted in revising the diagnosis in 14.6% of cases.
