Niacin (Vitamin B3)-Induced Acute Fulminant Hepatic Failure in a 24-Year-Old Female.
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
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare, life-threatening condition characterized by acute severe liver injury, encephalopathy, and coagulopathy in the absence of prior liver disease. The causes of ALF are broad and varied worldwide, commonly including triggers such as drugs (predominantly paracetamol) in developed countries and viral infections in developing nations. Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial in acute fulminant liver failure as highlighted in this case of a 24-year-old female with ALF secondary to vitamin B3 overdosing. This study further highlights the need for a high degree of clinical suspicion that physicians need to ascertain the cause of acute liver failure, the complexity of its management, and the significant harm unnecessary dietary supplementation can result in. This is a crucial example of why healthcare professionals need to educate their patients about the potential adverse consequences of dietary supplements.
