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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to provide new insights into the prevalence of positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) in patients with HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and its impact on clinical outcomes.

methodsA total of 116 patients with HBV-related ACLF treated at three clinical centers were retrospectively recruited. Serum concentrations of ANA were detected using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Multiple nuclear dots, rim-like, and centromere patterns of ANA were detected using indirect immunofluorescence assay on HEp-2 cells.

resultsAmong the 116 patients with HBV-related ACLF, 17 (14.66%) were ANA positive. Most patients in both ANA positive and negative groups were males (88.2% and 83.8%). Patients with negative ANA had a higher international normalized ratio, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD), and MELD-sodium scores than those with positive ANA (all

conclusionPositive ANA is frequent in HBV-related ACLF, and it does not seem to be associated with poor outcomes, but the pathogenesis of ACLF may be different between ANA (+) and ANA (-) groups.
