Association of high risk of liver fibrosis in patients with serious outcomes of adverse drug reactions.
Article in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeMetabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) as the main cause of chronic liver disease worldwide is associated with increased mortality. Especially in patients with fibrosis, an increased risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) might be present. Therefore, the impact of high-risk for liver fibrosis on the outcome of ADRs was analyzed.
methodsPatients of a multicenter cohort study in maximum care emergency departments (ED) with admissions due to ADRs with available FIB-4 score parameters were analyzed. The cohort was divided into patients with low (FIB-4 < 2.67) and high (FIB-4 ≥ 2.67) liver fibrosis risk. Triage at ED admission, ADR seriousness criteria, discharge status, and length of hospital stay were used as outcomes. Logistic and linear regression analyses were applied.
resultsAmong the 1087 patients, 407 had a high risk of fibrosis (37.4%). High risk of fibrosis was associated with serious ADRs (OR 2.42 (95% CI 1.57–3.73)), a poor discharge status including deaths (3.51 (2.20–5.60)), and a longer stay in the hospital (2.02 (1.00–3.05)), while urgent triage at ED admission was not significantly associated with high fibrosis risk (0.95 (0.71–1.28)).
conclusionIn patients at risk of MASLD, careful risk assessment is essential when prescribing drugs, as serious ADRs may occur unnoticed in the presence of liver fibrosis. Even simple non-invasive tests like the FIB-4 score may provide valuable prognostic hints in the acute event of an ADR.
