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

We report a case of a 41-year-old woman with longstanding anorexia nervosa (AN) who developed marked elevation in transaminase levels during early refeeding with enteral nutrition. Imaging and lab studies excluded viral hepatitis, ischemic injury, and refeeding syndrome. Her liver enzymes rapidly normalized with continued caloric intake and weight gain. This case supports the concept of starvation-induced liver injury, possibly due to autophagy, and highlights the importance of distinguishing it from refeeding syndrome, as treatment strategies differ significantly. Body weight trends may aid in predicting the trajectory of liver injury during nutritional rehabilitation in AN.
