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

backgroundPrimary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a rare disease with incidence that varies with time and geography. Only two studies have assessed PBC incidence in the United States, with the most recent appearing over a decade ago. The objective of the present study was to assess PBC incidence in the United States in a more recent era.

methodsThe incidence of PBC was assessed in a population-based cohort in rural, Midwestern Wisconsin over two decades spanning from June 1992 through June 2011. Cases were initially identified in the electronic medical record and then manually verified for inclusion according to the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease criteria for PBC. Additional data were abstracted for verified cases.

resultsA total of 79 cases of PBC were identified over the 20-year period for an overall age- and sex-standardized incidence of 4.9 cases per 100,000 person-years. Incidence was higher in females, but changes over time were not significant. After a mean 7.3 years follow-up, all-cause mortality of those with PBC was 29%, and estimated 10-year survival was 76%.

conclusionsThe overall incidence of PBC in a Midwestern population of the United States has remained relatively stable over the last two decades. Patients have better prognosis, and the survival of PBC cases has improved.
