Editorial: Itching to Know: Role of Fibrates in PBC.
Article in The American journal of gastroenterology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Approximately one-third of patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) fail to respond to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and are at risk for progression to biliary cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. In this paper by Pares et al., the authors evaluate the effect of long-term use of bezafibrate in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and inadequate response to UDCA. They found that addition of bezafibrate led to normalization of serum alkaline phosphatase in half of the study subjects and major improvement in pruritus. Here we discuss these findings and place them in context with current knowledge about fibrates in PBC.
