A Case of Statin-Induced Fulminant Hepatitis Presenting as Septic Shock and Multiorgan Failure.
Article in Cureus, 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
Statins are among the most widely prescribed medications for hyperlipidemia, with drug-induced liver injury (DILI) being a rare adverse event. Here, we report a case involving a 69-year-old female patient who developed fulminant liver failure following an overdose of rosuvastatin. The patient had ingested 60 tablets of rosuvastatin 20 mg over the one-week period prior to hospital admission, mistakenly believing it was her pain medication. This acute high-dose exposure far exceeded recommended dosing and resulted in fulminant hepatitis and multiorgan failure. Despite comprehensive critical care, including advanced supportive and rescue interventions, the patient's condition deteriorated, and she did not survive. This underscores the potential lethality of statin overdose and the importance of medication safety, early recognition, and prevention strategies.
