A case of rapid-progressing liver cirrhosis complicated by Werner syndrome.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Werner syndrome is a rare progeroid condition caused by a mutation in the WRN gene. It is characterized primarily by premature aging, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, and an increased risk of malignancy. In this case, we present a man in his 40s with liver cirrhosis who was subsequently diagnosed with Werner syndrome. Shortly afterwards, he developed refractory ascites and a non-healing ulcer on his left big toe and ultimately died of liver failure. Despite having only mild fatty liver disease and being of normal weight, his liver became cirrhotic within a little over 4 years. Although a liver biopsy was not performed, the presumed etiology of his liver cirrhosis was non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) due to fatty liver disease. This case report highlights the importance of considering Werner syndrome in the differential diagnosis of fatty liver, particularly in the absence of obesity, as it can lead to the rapid progression of NAFLD-related liver cirrhosis.
