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 one of the most important causes of chronic liver disease in the world, it has been found that cardiovascular and renal risks and diseases are also highly prevalent in adults with NAFLD. Diagnosis and treatment of NAFLD face many challenges, although the medical science has been very developed. Efficiency, accuracy and individualization are the main goals to be solved. Evaluation of the severity of NAFLD involves a variety of clinical parameters, how to optimize non-invasive evaluation methods is a necessary issue that needs to be discussed in this field. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly widespread in healthcare applications, and it has been also brought many new insights into better analyzing chronic liver disease, including NAFLD. This paper reviewed AI related researches in NAFLD field published recently, summarized diagnostic models based on electronic health record and lab test, ultrasound and radio imaging, and liver histopathological data, described the application of therapeutic models in personalized lifestyle guidance and the development of drugs for NAFLD. In addition, we also analyzed present AI models in distinguishing healthy VS NAFLD/NASH, and fibrosis VS non-fibrosis in the evaluation of NAFLD progression. We hope to provide alternative directions for the future research.
