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

A diagnosis of alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) requires information on the history of excessive alcohol consumption (average intake of 40 g or more in men and 20 g or more in women a day). Furthermore, blood tests, such as GGT, AST, ALT, and mean corpuscular volume, and imaging studies, including abdominal ultrasound or transient elastography, are also useful. A liver biopsy can be useful for confirming the diagnosis and has prognostic value. ALD includes alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and alcoholic cirrhosis, and in most cases, clinical manifestations can overlap. The prognostic scoring systems of ALD are limited mainly to alcoholic hepatitis, and the early mortality and treatment response can be predicted using various scoring systems. This review summarizes how to diagnose and evaluate the severity of ALD in clinical practice.
