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

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease in the developed world. The pathogenesis of NAFLD is multifactorial, involving obesity, insulin resistance, inflammation and oxidative stress. Accordingly, several treatments targeting these pathways have been evaluated in patients with NAFLD but have either shown limited efficacy or an unfavorable safety profile. On the other hand, increased hepatocyte apoptosis also appears to be implicated in the development and progression of NAFLD and recent pilot studies suggest that inhibition of apoptosis might represent a useful approach in this disease. However, several issues pertaining both to the efficacy and safety of this new class of agents remain unresolved and larger studies are required to clarify the role of this therapeutic modality in the management of NAFLD.
