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

Background and Aim: Liver biopsy is the gold standard method for the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the results of liver biopsies performed in a year in our clinic. In addition, we also aimed if these liver biopsies could reveal the etiology of liver disease in patients with elevations of transaminases or/and alkaline phosphatase levels or liver masses. Materials and Methods: Patients who had liver biopsies for persistently elevated transaminases or/and alkaline phosphatase levels, protocol biopsies after liver transplantation, or liver masses in our hepatology clinic between 2011 and 2012 were included in the study. Liver biopsy decisions were made by experts during the hepatology council. Liver biopsies were previously performed using classical percutaneous liver biopsy or ultrasonography-guided Sonocan Results: Totally, 479 liver biopsy results (male=252, 52.6%, mean age 49±14.5 years) were evaluated in the study. Of these patients, 432 (male=228) underwent percutaneous liver biopsy and 47 (male=24) underwent Sonocan Conclusion: In this study, diversity in liver biopsy results indicates the importance of histopathological evaluation. The most prevalent pathology in the liver biopsies was chronic hepatitis B, which is the most common chronic liver disease in Turkey. The metastatic liver tumor was the most common among the liver masses.
