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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is a disease spectrum characterized by fat accumulation in hepatocytes presenting as hepatic steatosis to advance disease with active hepatic inflammation, known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Chronic steatohepatitis will lead to progressive hepatic fibrosis causing cirrhosis and increased risk for developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Fatty liver disease prevalence has increased at alarming rates alongside obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome to become the second most common cause of cirrhosis after alcohol related liver disease worldwide. Given this rise in prevalence, it is becoming increasingly more important to find non-invasive methods to diagnose disease early and stage hepatic fibrosis. Providing clinicians with the tools to diagnose and treat the full spectrum of NAFLD will help prevent known complications such as cirrhosis and HCC and improve quality of life for the patients suffering from this disease. This article discusses the utility of current non-invasive liver function testing in the clinical progression of fatty liver disease along with the imaging modalities that are available. Additionally, we summarize available treatment options including targeted medical therapy through four different pathways, surgical or endoscopic intervention.
