Decreasing Mortality Among Danish Alcoholic Cirrhosis Patients: A Nationwide Cohort Study.
Article in The American journal of gastroenterology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesClinical management of certain cirrhosis complications has improved over the last two decades. In this study we aimed to examine whether mortality among Danish alcoholic cirrhosis patients has decreased during this period.
methodsIn this historical cohort study we used nationwide hospital data to identify Danish alcoholic cirrhosis patients diagnosed in 1996-1998, 1999-2001, 2002-2004, 2005-2007, 2008-2010, and 2011-2013. We used Cox regression to examine time trends in mortality after cirrhosis diagnosis, adjusting for confounding by age, gender, and prevalence of variceal bleeding, ascites, hepatorenal syndrome, alcoholic hepatitis, infection, hepatocellular carcinoma, comorbidity, and in-patient status at the time of cirrhosis diagnosis.
resultsWe included 22,734 patients (69% men). The adjusted mortality hazard ratio (HR) for patients diagnosed in each period compared with those diagnosed in 1996-1998 was 0.99 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.92-1.06) in 1999-2001, 1.00 (95% CI: 0.94-1.08) in 2002-2004, 0.97 (95% CI: 0.90-1.04) in 2005-2007, 0.94 (95% CI: 0.88-1.01) in 2008-2010, and finally 0.84 (95% CI: 0.79-0.90) in 2011-2013.
conclusionsIn recent years, mortality among Danish alcoholic cirrhosis patients has decreased.
