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

purposeAltered redox status has been implicated in pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) as well as in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study was planned to find the relative role of redox status in these two diseases.

methodsA total of 44 patients with ALD and 32 patients with NAFLD and 25 apparently healthy controls were included in the study. Redox status was estimated by measuring oxidative stress (superoxide dismutase (SOD) and lipid peroxidation products as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)) and antioxidant status (ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) and vitamin C).

resultsTBARS level was raised significantly in both ALD (3.5 (2.3-9.4) vs. 1.8 (0.5-4.1) nmol/ml; P = 0.0001) and NAFLD (5.1 (1-10.2) vs. 1.82 (0.51-4.1) nmol/ml; P = 0.0001) as compared with controls, but was not different between ALD and NAFLD. SOD was significantly higher in ALD as compared to NAFLD (2.4 (1.3-7.8) vs. 0.68 (0.05-19.1) U/ml; P = 0.0001) and controls (1.12 (0.01-3.5) U/ml; P = 0.001). FRAP was lower in ALD as compared with NAFLD (345.4 (56-615.9) vs. 434.1 (197.6-733.3) mumol of Fe(+2) liberated; P = 0.001) but similar to that of controls (340.9 (141.5-697.5) mumol of Fe(+2) liberated).

conclusionsALD patients have a higher degree of redox imbalance as compared with NAFLD patients.
