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

Vitamin B6 is an important cofactor in fat metabolism and its deficiency has been correlated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. However, no study has investigated the efficacy of vitamin B6 supplementation in these patients. The aim of this open-label, single-arm, single-center study was to examine the therapeutic effect of vitamin B6 in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Twenty-two patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease received vitamin B6 (90 mg/day) orally for 12 weeks. Clinical parameters were evaluated, and liver fat and fibrosis were quantified before and after treatment using magnetic resonance imaging-based proton density fat fraction and magnetic resonance elastography. Serum alanine aminotransferase levels, the primary endpoint, did not change significantly after vitamin B6 treatment (93.6 ± 46.9 to 93.9 ± 46.6,
