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

introductionHepatic peliosis is a rare benign vascular disorder characterized by dilatation of sinusoidal blood-filled spaces within the liver. It often remains asymptomatic and is diagnosed incidentally in an autopsy. Herein, we report a case of a 1-day-old female newborn who was admitted to the neonatal resuscitation unit for abdominal distension. CASE PRESENTATION: An abdominal examination revealed a firm mass with irregular contours in the upper quadrant of the abdomen, indicating hepatomegaly. Radiological explorations confirmed the hepatomegaly, and an ultrasound-guided liver biopsy showed the presence of multiple blood cavities with sinusoidal dilation typical of hepatic peliosis. DISCUSSION: None of the known risk factors were found in this case except antihistaminic drug consumption during pregnancy by the mother, which could possibly have a link, although never described.

conclusionIn this article, we report a case of neonatal hepatic peliosis likely secondary to antihistaminic consumption during pregnancy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the fifth reported case (based on the MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases) of neonatal hepatic peliosis.
