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

Apple cider vinegar is a ubiquitous ingredient that has been used for many years. There are not many reports in the literature of idiosyncratic drug-induced liver damage linked to apple cider vinegar in people. As far as we are aware, liver damage is an uncommon side effect of long-term apple cider vinegar use. We describe the case of a 60-year-old man who had a long history of vinegar consumption and now had vinegar-induced hepatotoxicity. After the patient stopped using vinegar, his condition improved. This case emphasizes how important it is to take into account conventional substances like vinegar as possible causes of liver damage.
