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

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a heterogeneous, idiopathic, inflammatory disorder frequently associated with inflammatory bowel diseases. PSC patients may be classified into several subphenotypes. Investigations of pediatric, nonwhite, and female PSC patients have revealed distinguishing features. The natural history of PSC is variable in progression with numerous possible clinical outcomes. PSC patients may suffer bacterial cholangitis, cholangiocarcinoma, or colorectal adenocarcinoma. Treatments focusing on bile acid therapy and immunosuppression have not proven beneficial. Interest in PSC and international collaboration has led to improved understanding of the heterogeneity and the genetic structure and introduced possible effective therapeutics.
