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

Cholestasis beyond infancy is uncommon and presents a diagnostic challenge. We report an 11-year-old girl presenting with severe pruritus followed by jaundice and a cholestatic biochemical profile with normal gamma-glutamyl transferase levels. Extensive evaluation excluded infectious, autoimmune, metabolic, and obstructive causes. Liver biopsy demonstrated bland cholestasis with preserved hepatic architecture. The patient showed complete clinical and biochemical recovery following supportive therapy with ursodeoxycholic acid. Although this represents a first documented episode, the findings are most consistent with a benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis-like phenotype. This case highlights the importance of considering inherited cholestatic disorders in older children with unexplained GGT-normal cholestasis.
