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

A 38-year-old woman with a >10-year history of heavy alcohol consumption presented with acute-onset jaundice and massive hepatomegaly. Laboratory tests revealed a cholestatic-pre-dominant liver injury pattern with extreme γ-glutamyl transferase elevation (>1,000 U/L) and marked hyperferritinemia (>1,500 ng/ml). Imaging excluded extrahepatic biliary obstruction. Liver biopsy demonstrated steatohepatitis with ductular reaction and stage F2 fibrosis. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was negative for infectious pathogens. After alcohol abstinence, metabolic intervention, a short empiric corticosteroid course, and supportive therapy, liver function gradually improved. This case highlights a reversible cholestatic phenotype in alcohol-associated steatotic liver injury with metabolic dysfunction and suspected secondary iron overload.
