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

Professional MHE awareness is high but when it comes to psychometric testing for MHE the real world scenario is characterized by hesitation and testing is offered only to selected cirrhosis patients. The hesitation is rooted in doubts about which tests to use, lack of knowledge about treatment benefits, and uncertainty about the tests' ability to identify patients who will benefit from anti-HE treatment. Thus, the majority of MHE patients do not receive the available efficient anti-HE treatment. This mini-review attempts to quell some of these doubts.
