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

Zieve syndrome is a rare pathology usually diagnosed in patients with a history of alcohol-related liver disease. It is characterized by a triad of Coombs-negative hemolytic anemia, cholestatic jaundice, and hyperlipidemia. Patients usually present with abdominal pain, nausea, jaundice, and ill-defined symptoms. While Zieve syndrome is associated with alcohol-induced liver injury, its mechanism of action is still poorly understood. Nevertheless, most patients respond well to alcohol abstinence, blood transfusions, and supportive care. Herein, we report the case of a 33-year-old female patient who presented to the ED with complaints of abdominal discomfort, intermittent melanotic stools, and hematemesis. Gastroenterology and Oncology were consulted for further evaluation and management. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with Zieve syndrome. In this report, we review this unique case and discuss different atypical forms of presentation in Zieve syndrome, as highlighted in previous studies.
