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

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic immune-mediated liver disease, and its seronegative variant poses diagnostic challenges due to absent autoantibodies. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia, characterized by immunoglobulin G-mediated erythrocyte destruction, rarely coexists with AIH, creating a complex clinical scenario. We report a 26-year-old woman presenting with jaundice, anemia, and elevated liver enzymes. Serologies for antinuclear antibody, smooth muscle antibody, and anti-liver kidney microsomal type 1 were negative, but immunoglobulin G was elevated. Liver biopsy revealed severe panlobular hepatitis with bridging necrosis, confirming seronegative AIH. Concurrent hemolysis was evidenced by reticulocytosis, low haptoglobin, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, and a positive Coombs test. High-dose corticosteroid therapy led to rapid improvement in hepatic and hematologic parameters within 10 days. This case underscores the importance of considering autoimmune overlap syndromes in young women with jaundice and anemia. Early recognition and immunosuppressive therapy are critical for favorable outcomes.
