Acetaminophen toxicity: Patterns of liver injury, effects on hospital length of stay, and the need for inpatient psychiatric care.
Article in Hepatology forum, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aim: Acetaminophen toxicity is the most common cause of acute liver failure (ALF) in the United States. Among patients with acetaminophen toxicity, a vast majority have intentional overdose and concurrent psychiatric comorbidities. We aimed to analyze patient characteristics, patterns of overdose, and outcomes in patients with acetaminophen overdose at our liver transplantation (LT) center. Materials and Methods: Patients ≥18 years of age with acetaminophen overdose between 2011 and 2020 at our institution were identified. Patient demographics, clinical and laboratory data, patterns of overdose (intentional vs. unintentional), psychiatric comorbidities, need for admission to inpatient psychiatry service, transplant wait listing, need for transplantation, and death were assessed. Categorical variables are presented as counts with percentages, continuous variables as median with interquartile range IQR (Q1-Q3), and p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: A total of 165 (118 female, 47 male) patients were admitted with acetaminophen toxicity. Seventy-one (43.0%) patients met criteria for ALF. The median age was 32 years (IQR 25-49), and 112 (67.9%) patients had concurrent psychiatric comorbidities. Ninety-six (58.2%) patients had intentional overdose, while 69 (41.8%) patients had unintentional overdose. Twenty-three (13.9%) patients were listed for LT, and seven (4.2%) patients underwent LT. Eighty-one (49.1%) patients were subsequently admitted to the inpatient psychiatry service. Eleven (6.7%) patients died, five of whom were on the LT list. There was no significant difference in LT listing between patients with and without psychiatric comorbidities. Conclusion: The majority of the patients with acetaminophen overdose survived to discharge. Most cases of acetaminophen overdose were intentional and were significantly associated with the presence of a psychiatric comorbidity. Intentional and unintentional overdoses had similar rates of ALF. Inpatient psychiatric hospitalization was frequently required, particularly for patients with intentional overdose.
