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

BACKGROUND &

aimsPrimary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare cholangiopathy of unknown aetiopathogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate cellular senescence (CS) marker expression in cholangiocytes of patients with PSC and their correlation with clinical-pathological features and prognosis.

methodsThirty-five patients with PSC with at least 1 available liver sampling were included. Clinical laboratory data at the time of liver sampling were collected. The endpoints were survival without liver transplantation (LT), time to LT, and survival without LT or cirrhosis decompensation. Histological grading and staging were assessed according to Nakanuma. Immunohistochemical stains for CS markers, p16

conclusionsCholangiocyte senescence is detectable in all stages of PSC and is associated with histological and clinical disease severity, potentially representing a new prognostic and therapeutic target. LAY SUMMARY: In this study, we showed that cholangiocyte senescence (CS), previously demonstrated in liver of patients with end-stage primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), is an early event and is detectable in all disease stages. Moreover, we observed that CS is associated with histological and clinical disease severity and patients' outcome. Thus, we suggest that CS may represent a new prognostic tool and a potential therapeutic target in PSC. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Protocol number 0034435, 08/06/2020.
