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

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the main causes of acute liver failure in children. Its incidence is probably underestimated, as specific diagnostic tools are currently lacking. Over 1000 known drugs cause DILI, and the list is expanding. The aim of this review is to describe DILI pathogenesis and emphasize the drugs accountable for child DILI in order to aid its recognition. Intrinsic DILI is well described in terms of mechanism, incriminated drugs, and toxic dose. Conversely, idiosyncratic DILI (iDILI) is unpredictable, occurring as a result of a particular response to drug administration, and its occurrence cannot be foreseen in clinical studies. Half of pediatric iDILI cases are linked to antibiotics, mostly amoxicillin-clavulanate, in the immune-allergic group, while autoimmune DILI is the hallmark of minocycline and nitrofurantoin. Secondly, antiepileptics are responsible for 20% of pediatric iDILI cases, children being more prone to iDILI caused by these agents than adults. A similar tendency was observed in anti-tuberculosis drugs, higher incidences being reported in children below three years old. Current data show growing cases of iDILI related to antineoplastic agents, atomoxetine, and albendazole, so that it is advisable for clinicians to maintain a high index of suspicion regarding iDILI.
