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

As medical treatments advance, drug-induced liver injury (DILI) becomes more prevalent, occurring at a rate of 14 to 19 cases per 100,000 individuals. We present a unique case of a female patient with Crohn's disease developing autoimmune-like hepatitis during infliximab treatment. Autoimmune-like hepatitis can pose diagnostic challenges when distinguishing it from idiopathic autoimmune hepatitis. The diagnostic journey, including the absence of distinct pathognomonic criteria, is discussed. The only discriminative factor observed was the absence of relapse in autoimmune-like hepatitis patients after discontinuation of immuno-suppressive therapy. The case highlights the importance of recognizing this adverse event in clinical practice and underscores the challenges in balancing the benefits and risks of powerful immunomodulatory agents.
