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

Parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD) causes hepatic steatosis and moderate liver enzyme elevation due to lack of enteral nutrition and deficiency of some nutrients. However, the period for recovery from PNALD after a nutritional intervention is unknown with no report. Herein, we report a case of a 44-year-old Japanese woman with severe fatty infiltration of the liver due to malnutrition. Our nutritional support team administered appropriate total parenteral, especially fat and carnitine, nutrition to improve her malnutrition. Chronological changes in liver-to-spleen attenuation ratio were also considered because of her disease state. Computed tomography demonstrated improved attenuation of the liver, and the liver enzymes level normalized after 5 weeks from appropriate nutrition. Understanding the nutritional condition of a patient may help in elucidating an appropriate treatment strategy.
