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

Gestational alloimmune liver disease (GALD) is a rare autoimmune syndrome in which maternal antibodies lead to in utero fetal hepatocyte destruction, often presenting as neonatal liver failure and hemochromatosis. Antenatal intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is generally accepted to be safe in pregnancy with demonstrable benefits for reducing GALD recurrence risk in subsequent pregnancies. Here we present a case of a 33-year-old woman with a prior neonatal demise due to GALD who received multiple prophylactic IVIG infusions in a subsequent twin pregnancy complicated by maternal jaundice and acute hepatitis. A liver biopsy demonstrated hepatocellular injury with bridging necrosis and cholestatic features consistent with drug-induced liver injury. This case demonstrates the importance of close clinical monitoring during IVIG therapy and the need for further research into alternative prophylaxis options for GALD.
