Review in Hepatology international, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a leading cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. ALD encompasses a spectrum of disorders including asymptomatic steatosis, steatohepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis and its related complications, and the acute-on-chronic state of alcoholic hepatitis. While multidisciplinary efforts continue to be aimed at curbing progression of this spectrum of disorders, there is an urgent need to focus our efforts on effective therapeutic interventions for alcoholic hepatitis (AH), the most severe form of ALD. AH is characterized by an abrupt development of jaundice and complications related to liver insufficiency and portal hypertension in patients with heavy alcohol intake. The mortality of patients with severe AH is very high (20-50 % at 3 months). The current therapeutic regimens are limited. The development of new therapies requires translational studies in human samples and suitable animal models that reproduce clinical and histological features of human AH. This review article summarizes the clinical syndrome, pre-clinical translational tools, and pathogenesis of AH at a molecular and cellular level, with the aim of identifying new targets of potential therapeutic intervention.
