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: Wilson's disease is a rare inherited disorder caused by mutations in the copper transporter ATP7B. Case Presentation: We present the case of a 33-year-old woman who was admitted with decompensated liver cirrhosis, initially suspected to have autoimmune hepatitis and treated with corticosteroids without improvement. Further investigation confirmed the diagnosis of Wilson disease. Despite initiating penicillamine therapy, the patient's condition worsened, requiring urgent liver transplantation. Conclusion: This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of Wilson's disease, given its rarity and mimicry of other conditions, particularly when accompanied by autoimmune features, underscoring the importance of early referral for transplantation.
