Review in Clinical and experimental hepatology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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

The syndrome of decreased immunity caused by cirrhosis is a combination of different immunological mechanisms and reactions which result from an advanced stage of the liver disease. The synthesis of proteins of the acute phase becomes impaired, there develop different deficiencies of the complement system, and there ensues a decrease of receptors that are meant to recognize antigens. The negative changes become apparent in the field of cell responses, e.g. there are changes in the amounts of generated monocytes and macrophages, and their phagocytic capabilities and chemotaxic reactions are impacted as well. The humoral response results in distorted synthesis of particular antigen categories. The risk of detrimental immunoresponses with the end result of endotoxemia is not rarely coupled with both local and global infections. The combination of the aforesaid immunodeficiencies worsens the healing chances of cirrhosis sufferers and more often than not it increases the mortality of the affected patients.
