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

backgroundPrimary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is associated with progressive liver disease and cholangiocarcinoma. Although risk stratification is crucial for making clinical decisions, it is hindered by a scarcity of proven prognostic markers.

aimsTo assess the value of novel anti-glycoprotein 2 (anti-GP2) and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies to serine proteinase 3 (PR3-ANCA) in combination with PSC-specific clinical and laboratory markers as predictors of quality of life, disease severity, and cholangiocarcinoma in two large, independent cohorts of PSC patients

methodsDiscovery (338 Polish patients) and validation (178 German patients) cohorts with PSC were evaluated. Anti-GP2 (isoforms 1/4) was detected by ELISAs and PR3-ANCA by chemiluminescence immunoassay. Clinical and laboratory data were collected and analysed. The outcome was defined as liver transplantation-free survival and occurrence of cholangiocarcinoma during follow-up.

resultsIn the discovery group, anti-GP2

conclusionsAnti-GP2 and PR3-ANCA are prognostic antibodies in PSC as they identify patients at risk of severe disease, poor survival and biliary cancer.
