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

Introduction: Propafenone is a widely used class Ic antiarrhythmic drug that is mainly metabolised by the liver. Hepatotoxicity associated with propafenone is rare, with only a few clinical cases reported in the literature. Case Presentation: We presented a case of propafenone-related hepatotoxicity, with cholestatic liver injury and development of jaundice and pruritus within 3 to 4 weeks of treatment initiation. Three months after discontinuation, the patient was asymptomatic, and all liver tests normalised. Conclusion: With this clinical case, we aimed to emphasise the importance of the medication history and the exclusion of other possible causes of altered liver enzymes.
