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 19 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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the Western world. Ongoing research has furthered our understanding of NAFLD, the nature of progression of this disease, and its impact on morbidity and mortality. An active form of NAFLD is non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH); it is the most severe subtype, without any current recommended therapies, according to the European Medicines Agency. The development of new therapies presents challenges, notably due to the slow progression of NASH and the clinically relevant endpoints. Correlating new data with effective treatment regimens is an emerging challenge, which will increase our understanding of the factors affecting the NAFLD course. This can enable more appropriate non-invasive prognostic assessments, which can focus on specifically at-risk NAFLD populations for tailored individual treatment. This review article aims to highlight the current developments in the field of NAFLD: pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, clinical features, and available treatment, including novel targets and therapies.
