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

backgroundHepatic encephalopathy (HE) is an established clinical manifestation in chronic liver disease (CLD). It is associated with various factors including gastrointestinal bleed, constipation, and dyselectrolemia. Recently 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) deficiency has been identified as one of the factors associated with the development of HE. The current study was aimed to assess the level of 25-OHD in patients with CLD and hepatic encephalopathy and the relationship between 25-OHD deficiency and hepatic encephalopathy. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 100 subjects of either sex between 18 and 60 years of age, diagnosed as CLD on the basis of ultrasonography with hepatic encephalopathy and 50 age, sex-matched CLD subjects without encephalopathy. Hemogram, hepatic and renal functions, serum electrolytes, coagulation profile, and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were recorded.

resultsThe baseline variables were matched for age, sex, hepatic and kidney function, and coagulation profiles. The hemoglobin (

conclusionIn this cohort of North Indian population, serum 25-OHD level was significantly lower in patients with CLD and HE. The levels of 25-OHD showed a significant negative correlation with hepatic encephalopathy.
