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

Hepatic encephalopathy describes an array of neurological complications that arise due to liver insufficiency. The pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy shares a longstanding association with hyperammonemia and inflammation, and recently, aberrant bile acid signaling has been implicated in the development of key features of hepatic encephalopathy. These key features include neuronal dysfunction, neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier permeability. This review summarizes the findings of recent studies demonstrating a role for bile acids in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy via one of three main bile acid receptors and speculates on the possible downstream consequences of aberrant bile acid signaling.
