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

This case report describes a rare association between autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and Guillain-Barré syndrome. A 71-year-old woman with a history of hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia presented with elevated liver enzymes and progressive distal limb weakness. Electromyography confirmed acute motor axonal neuropathy, a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome, without an identifiable trigger. Serologies for viral hepatitis were negative; however, autoantibodies, including antinuclear antibody, antimitochondrial antibody, and smooth muscle antibody, were positive. Liver biopsy demonstrated histopathologic features consistent with AIH, although typical clinical symptoms of AIH were not apparent. The patient's liver enzymes normalized after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin. Further investigation into this uncommon clinical association is warranted.
