Pediatric acute liver failure in a child with arsenic toxicity and underlying rotor syndrome.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 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
Pediatric acute liver failure can result from infections, metabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases, toxins, or malignancies. It is crucial to consider herbal medicines as an etiological factor in such cases. We report a 7-year-old boy presenting with PALF from arsenic toxicity after consuming herbal medicine. He presented with jaundice, fever, vomiting, and lethargy, with hepatomegaly and signs of raised intracranial tension on examination. He had taken herbal medicine for the jaundice. His toxicology screen revealed high levels of arsenic and lead in serum and urine. Whole exome sequencing incidentally identified pathogenic mutations of the SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3 genes, suggestive of Rotor syndrome (RS). Despite intensive care, including continuous renal replacement therapy and plasmapheresis, he died from multiorgan dysfunction and sepsis. This case shows the risks of unregulated herbal formulations containing toxins and explores the potential interaction between RS and arsenic toxicity.
