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

One proposed mechanism for acute and chronic hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a disturbance in cerebral energy metabolism. It also reviews the current status of this mechanism in both acute and chronic HE, as well as in other hyperammonemic disorders. It also reviews abnormalities in glycolysis, lactate metabolism, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation as well as associated energy impairment. Additionally, the role of mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT), a recently established factor in the pathogenesis of HE and hyperammonemia, is emphasized. Energy failure appears to be an important pathogenetic component of both acute and chronic HE and a potential target for therapy.
