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

Older age at the time of infection with hepatitis viruses is associated with an increased risk of liver fibrosis progression. We hypothesized that the pace of fibrosis progression may reflect changes in gene expression within the aging liver. We compared gene expression in liver specimens from 54 adult donors without evidence of fibrosis, including 36 over 40 y old and 18 between 18 and 40 y old.
