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

objectiveTo analyze the therapeutic efficacy of adenosylmethionine on viral hepatitis and the related factors inducing disease.

methodsFrom May 2018 to April 2019, 137 patients with viral hepatitis who received treatment in our hospital were selected and assigned to two groups according to different treatment methods. In the control group (CG), 61 cases were treated with routine liver protection and enzyme reduction. In the research group, 76 cases were treated with adenosylmethionine on the basis of the CG. After therapy, the total response rate was analyzed in both groups, and the adverse reactions were observed during the treatment. The liver function indexes [albumin (ALB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glutamic acid transaminase (AST) and total bilirubin (TBIL)], liver fiber indicators [hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), type III procollagen (PCIII), type IV collagen (IV-C)], inflammatory factors [interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] were compared in both groups before and after therapy. ELISA was applied to detect inflammatory factors in both groups before and after treatment. Logistic analysis was applied to analyze the independent risk factors affecting the curative effect of patients with viral hepatitis.

resultsAfter therapy, the total response rate of patients in RG was obviously higher than that in CG; The total incidence of adverse effects in RG was obviously lower than that in CG; The improvement of liver function indexes and liver fiber indicators in RG was better than that in CG; The expression of inflammatory factors in RG was obviously lower than that in CG. Logistic analysis revealed that patients' age (>40 years old), drinking history, family history, low improvement of hepatic function and hepatic fibrosis, high level of inflammatory cytokines and routine treatment were independent prognostic factors affecting patients with viral hepatitis.

conclusionAdenosylmethionine intervention can promote disease recovery, reduce inflammation level and improve liver function damage for patients with viral hepatitis.
