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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThe aim of this study was to assess the effects of a fish oil-based lipid emulsion on intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) in children. SUBJECTS/

methodsFrom January 2014 through June 2017, we enrolled 32 children with IF on long-term parenteral nutrition (PN). When the levels of any three of seven liver indicators (TBA, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase (γ-GT), total bilirubin (TB), or direct bilirubin (DB)) were two times higher than normal levels, we switched a 50:50 mix of soybean oil and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) lipid emulsion (with an average dose of 1.30 g/kg/day) to a fish oil-based lipid emulsion (1 g/kg/day) and measured liver function in the children. Meanwhile, inflammation and oxidative stress-related markers were also measured.

resultsThe average fish oil therapy duration was 26 ± 21 days, and the median duration of PN support was 84 days. With fish oil therapy, levels of TBA, ALT, AST, γ-GT, TB, and DB all significantly decreased. Enteral nutrition was introduced following fish oil resulting in higher energy intake (99.88 ± 31.06 kcal/kg/day) compared with before fish oil (67.90 ± 27.31 kcal/kg/day, P = 0.001). No significant difference was found in average PN energy (P = 0.147). In addition, levels of inflammatory indicators like tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cell (WBC) significantly decreased.

conclusionsFish oil therapy alleviates IFALD in children.
