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

backgroundIn patients with chronic intestinal failure (CIF) and long-term home parenteral nutrition (HPN), liver steatosis is a known late complication, which can progress to intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a qualitative and quantitative assessment of liver steatosis. The aim of our study was to assess the prevalence of liver steatosis and find possible new factors that could be connected to liver steatosis in CIF patients on HPN therapy.

methodsPatients diagnosed with CIF and undergoing long-term HPN therapy were enrolled in a prospective cohort study. Clinical, laboratory and body composition data were collected from their medical records between January 2017 and November 2018. Liver steatosis was diagnosed using 3 Tesla Siemens MRI scanner. The associations between various risk factors and liver steatosis were calculated using uni- and multivariate logistic regression.

resultsIn our study, we included 63 adult patients with CIF on HPN therapy. The median HPN therapy duration was 70 weeks (IQR 22-203). The prevalence of liver steatosis was 28.6%. Serum cholesterol level, CRP and FFMI were statistically significantly associated with liver steatosis.

conclusionThe results of our study indicate that CIF patients on HPN therapy experience a low risk of liver disease if they adhere to a well-controlled treatment regime. We found that MRI is an appropriate diagnostic tool for monitoring liver steatosis in patients on long-term PN. With respect to already known risk factors for liver steatosis, we did find a newly described association between FFMI and liver steatosis.
