Acute liver injury as a manifestation of granulomatous hepatitis: diagnostic challenges.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. 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
Granulomatous hepatitis is a rare clinical entity characterized by granuloma formation in the liver, with a diverse etiology that includes infectious, autoimmune, and malignant causes. This case report details a 35-year-old male presenting with jaundice, abdominal pain, and malaise. Laboratory findings showed features of acute liver injury, with elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin, while imaging studies revealed hepatomegaly and lymphadenopathy. A liver biopsy confirmed non-caseating granulomas, with negative results for infectious and autoimmune etiologies. Further investigations, including a bone marrow biopsy, identified Hodgkin's lymphoma, establishing the diagnosis of granulomatous hepatitis as a paraneoplastic manifestation. The patient was referred for oncological treatment, underscoring the critical role of liver biopsy and histopathological evaluation in diagnosing granulomatous hepatitis of unclear origin. This case highlights the diagnostic complexities and the need for a multidisciplinary approach in identifying systemic malignancies presenting with hepatic manifestations.
