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

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is rare, and the diagnosis is not always clear-cut. It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality for the pregnant mother and fetus. Frequent pregnancy testing of women in childbearing years who have a known diagnosis of AIH may be necessary, even after counseling on family planning takes place. Close evaluation and a multidisciplinary approach are essential in pregnancy as disease sequelae can become progressive. We report an interesting case of hepatitis in pregnancy, with an eventful clinical history. The patient in hand was started on treatment with a positive response to steroids. The liver biopsy was not confirmatory, but the laboratory results and the clinical scenario pointed to autoimmune etiology. We wish to share relevant management lessons and highlight important caveats of learning for future clinical relevance, as well as the importance of a liver biopsy.
