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

Overlap syndrome between autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare condition in children and represents a diagnostic challenge due to the lack of standardized diagnostic criteria and the frequent presence of atypical clinical manifestations. We report the case of a seven-year-old girl presenting with chronic jaundice, severe hepatocellular cytolysis, polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, and biliary abnormalities detected on MRI. Liver histology confirmed AIH. The diagnosis of AIH-PSC overlap syndrome was established, and treatment with prednisone and azathioprine was initiated, resulting in significant clinical and biochemical improvement. This case highlights the importance of early diagnostic suspicion and multidisciplinary management in children presenting with complex autoimmune liver disease.
