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

Autoimmune hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver characterized by the presence of peri-portal hepatitis, hypergammaglobulinemia, and the serum autoantibodies. The disease is classified into 2 distinct types according to the nature of auto-antibodies. Disturbances of the calcium-parathyroid hormone-vitamin D axis are frequently associated with chronic liver disease. Patients with AIH have a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency. Genetic studies have provided the opportunity to determine which proteins link vitamin D to AIH pathology, namely, the major histocompatibility complex class II molecules, vitamin D receptors, toll-like receptors, cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4, cytochrome P450 CYP2D6, regulatory T cells (Tregs) and the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor 3. Vitamin D also exerts its effect on AIH through non-genomic factors, namely, mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways, γδT cells, interferon-gamma nitric oxide synthase, and reactive oxygen stress. In conclusion, vitamin D may have a beneficial role in AIH and improves liver function in concanavalin A-induced mouse AIH. Calcitriol is best used for AIH because it is the active form of a vitamin D3 metabolite and its receptors are present in sinusoidal endothelial cells, Kupffer cells, stellate cells of normal livers, and the biliary cell line.
