End-points for drug treatment in NASH.
Review in Hepatology international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an increasingly common cause of cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver-related death (LRD). Consequently, there is a critical need for effective drug therapy that improves clinically relevant end-points. Hepatic steatosis assessed by magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction is increasingly used in the early phase trials examining drugs with anti-steatotic effects. However, the prognostic significance of a reduction in steatosis is unknown, and thus, phase 3 trials require a histological end-point of NASH resolution without fibrosis progression. Nonetheless, it is not clear whether this end-point which requires a liver biopsy reflects a better prognosis. Thus, conditional drug approval currently requires long-term follow-up to demonstrate reduction in 'harder' end-points of cirrhosis, liver transplantation, and LRD. Currently, there is an essential need to develop accurate non-invasive markers that are dynamic to drug-induced changes in underlying disease severity and prognosis to utilize as surrogate end-points for clinical trials in NASH.
