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

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the United States. Prior data suggest that NAFLD-HCC patients are less likely to receive liver transplantation (LT) and have worse overall survival; however, the reason for this discrepancy is unknown.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective study of 631 HCC patients listed for LT at a large academic center from 2004 to 2013. Waitlist dropout and LT were analyzed using competing risk regression.

resultsCompared with other-HCC patients (n = 589), NAFLD-HCC patients (n = 42, 6.7%) were older (65 versus 58,

conclusionsIn our single-center cohort, we observed no difference in waitlist outcomes or survival in NAFLD HCC, although conclusions are limited by the small number of NAFLD-HCC patients. Notably, the inclusion of patients with obesity in the NAFLD-HCC group and stratification by individual metabolic factors also showed no difference in waitlist outcomes.
