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: Adalimumab is a TNF-α antagonist used to treat psoriasis and rheumatologic conditions; it can rarely cause hepatotoxicity manifesting as elevated liver enzymes. Case Presentation: Here, we present a case of a 24-year-old female with chronic plaque psoriasis with no history of liver disease or any risk factor for liver disease who developed a drug-induced liver injury upon treatment initiation with Adalimumab. This case report highlights the importance of monitoring liver function tests in patients receiving Adalimumab, early recognition, and prompt medication dosage adjustment or discontinuation. Early diagnosis and treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis is critical for improving prognosis, especially in the case of increased risk factors of liver disease due to the administration of Adalimumab. Conclusion: Our case presented a patient with no history of liver disease; however, she developed a drug-induced liver injury. Therefore, this case report is the first to emphasize the need for early recognition of LFTs upon Adalimumab administration, and prompt medication dosage adjustment or discontinuation is essential in patients receiving Adalimumab.
