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

Vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) is characterized by the progressive loss and destruction of the intrahepatic bile ducts, leading to bile stasis and associated symptoms such as jaundice. This condition is commonly associated with drug side effects, infections, neoplasms, and autoimmune diseases, but the precise mechanism of its development is unclear. Although VBDS can be diagnosed based on the patient's symptoms and disease progression, a liver biopsy is essential for confirmation, and the prognosis can vary significantly. This paper presents a rare case of a young female patient diagnosed with idiopathic VBDS after undergoing a liver biopsy to investigate unexplained jaundice. The patient's liver function improved partially after an ursodeoxycholic acid and prednisolone treatment.
