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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the association of the Laennec staging system with degree of cirrhosis, clinical stage and liver function.

methodsLiver biopsy was performed for 30 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis to test the content of hydroxyproline in hepatic tissue, judge the degree of cirrhosis and determine the Laennec staging system. The association of the Laennec staging system with the degree of cirrhosis, clinical stage and liver function was compared.

resultsThe Laennec staging system had a close association with clinical stage, model for end-stage liver disease score and degree of cirrhosis (r = 0.58, p < 0.01; r = 0.60, p < 0.01; r = 0.53, p < 0.01).

conclusionsThe Laennec histological grading system can to some extent reflect the degree of cirrhosis, clinical stage and liver function, and is expected to predict the incidence of patient complications in a useful way.
