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 steatohepatitis (NASH) has emerged as one of the important causes of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, and over 50 therapeutic agents are in various phases of clinical development. Recently, obeticholic acid has achieved the interim histological endpoint of fibrosis improvement with no worsening of NASH in the phase 3 REGENERATE study, and now patients are being followed for long-term clinical outcomes. Several drugs are in Phase 3 trials with a goal to achieve conditional registration under the subpart H pathway by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is thus timely to consider the current situation and the way ahead in the management of NASH. In this article, we review the natural history of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, upcoming treatments for NASH and various assessments. Based on the current knowledge, we discuss what should be the target treatment population and whether noninvasive tests are ready to guide NASH treatments both for patient selection and evaluation of treatment response.
