Persistently high serum aspartate aminotransferase level in an asymptomatic young patient.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Key Clinical Message: We report a young man with isolated elevated AST. He had no other evidence of liver or other related diseases. All the tests and examination reports were negative. The final diagnosis of macro-AST was confirmed by PEG precipitation tests. Abstract: Elevated liver enzymes, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), may commonly indicate liver injury. However, macro-AST is generally a benign condition that may be considered as pathologic by clinicians. A young man with isolated elevated AST for more than 10 years who have taken extensive tests and examinations was diagnosed with macro-AST in our article. Thus, in patients with isolated AST-elevation, polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation test was recommended to test whether macro-AST could be diagnosed.
