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

Severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is an acute and often devastating form of alcohol-associated liver disease. Clinically, AH is characterized by elevated bilirubin, model for end stage liver disease scores >20, and nonspecific symptoms that are caused by underlying inflammation, hepatocyte injury, and impaired intestinal barrier function. Compromised immune defense in AH contributes to infections, sepsis and organ failure. To date, corticosteroids are the only recommended treatment for severe AH, however it does not provide survival benefits beyond 1 month. Recent preclinical and early clinical studies in AH aided understanding of the disease and presented opportunities for new therapeutic options targeting inflammation, oxidative stress, liver regeneration and modification of intestinal microbiota. In this comprehensive review, we discuss promising preclinical results and ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of severe AH.
