Certolizumab-Induced Liver Injury in Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Case Report and Causality Assessment.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Certolizumab-induced liver injury is exceptionally rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We present the case of a 34-year-old man with axial ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who developed a drug-induced liver injury following treatment with certolizumab. Despite the initial ineffectiveness of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and an inadequate response to infliximab, the patient achieved remission of AS symptoms with certolizumab. However, he subsequently developed elevated liver enzymes indicative of hepatocellular injury. Investigations excluded viral hepatitis and autoimmune liver diseases, pointing to certolizumab as the likely cause. The updated Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method confirmed a probable causal relationship between certolizumab and hepatotoxicity. Discontinuation of certolizumab led to normalization of liver enzymes without recurrence of liver injury. This case highlights the need for vigilant monitoring for hepatotoxicity in patients receiving tumor necrosis factor inhibitors.
