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

backgroundPatients with cirrhosis are more prone to develop metabolic bone disease. Scanty literature data are available on osteodystrophy in patients from India with noncholestatic liver diseases.

methodsPatients diagnosed with cirrhosis were prospectively evaluated for bone mineral density (BMD) as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at the femoral neck, lumbar spine, and left forearm (distal radius). Correlation of BMD with age, sex, etiology of cirrhosis, Child's class, serum bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), albumin, calcium, phosphate, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) was studied.

resultsThe study group comprised 115 cirrhotic patients (107 males and 8 females). Etiology of cirrhosis was alcohol in 67 (58.2%) and viral in 48 (41.7%). Hepatitis B was diagnosed in 29 (25.2%) and hepatitis C in 19 (16.5%). Mean age was 49 (± 5.5) years. Prevalence of osteodystrophy was significantly higher in males than in females; 97.1% and 75% respectively (P = .038). Both alcoholic and viral groups had similar baseline characteristics except albumin levels. Child's class was B in 72 patients and C in 43. Low BMD was present in 97% of patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and 93.7% with viral cirrhosis (P > .05). Low BMD was present at the femoral neck in 80.8% of patients, lumbar spine in 77.3%, and forearm in 59.9%. PTH correlated negatively with BMD.

conclusionOsteodystrophy is common in alcoholic and viral cirrhosis patients.
