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

Cholestatic liver disease is a disease that causes liver damage and fibrosis owing to bile stasis. It is represented by primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), but the pathophysiological pathways that cause bile stasis in both diseases are different. The pathogenesis of the disease is still unclear, although autoimmune mechanisms have been postulated and partially elucidated. Although the disease may progress slowly with only mild liver dysfunction, it may progress to liver cirrhosis or liver failure, which require liver transplantation. As a medical treatment, ursodeoxycholic acid is widely used for PBC and has proved to be very effective against disease progression in cases of PBC. On the other hand, its efficacy is limited in cases of PSC, and the research and development of various drugs are underway. Furthermore, the clinical course of both diseases is quite variable, making the design of clinical trials fairly difficult. In this review, we present the general natural history of PBC and PSC, and provide information on the latest drug therapies currently available and those that are under investigation.
