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

objectiveAlthough autoantibodies have been used for the diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), their role has not been clarified. In this study, we try to explore the value of gp210 antibody and anti-centromere antibodies (ACA) in PBC.

methodsAnti-gp210 and ACA were tested in 140 PBC patients by ELISA and indirect immunofluorescence respectively. Their association with clinical, pathological data and prognosis was analysed.

results30.5% of PBC patients had positive anti-gp210 antibody and 29.2% had ACA. The anti-gp210 antibody positive group had higher Mayo risk scores and lower serum albumin levels compared to the negative one. Patients with positive anti-gp210 antibody were more likely to develop hepatic failure (p<0.05, OR=9.8460, 95% CI: 1.067-90.901) than patients with negative anti-gp210 antibody. More patients with positive ACA developed portal hypertension than patients with negative ACA (p<0.05, OR=9.259; 95% CI: 1.027-88.410). Furthermore, concurrent Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) and PBC was significantly more likely in the ACA positive group than in the negative ones (68.4% in ACA positive group, 20.7% in ACA negative group p<0.001).

conclusionsBoth anti-gp210 antibody and ACA are related to severe disease course and poor prognosis. For PBC patients with positive ACA, further examinations should be made to detect underlying SjS.
