Research trends analysis of chronic hepatitis C versus nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: A literature review text-mining analysis of publications.
Article in Health science reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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: Hepatits C virus (HCV) rates have lowered due to direct-acting antiviral treatment. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)/nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rising with no available therapy. We employed text-mining to analyze trends in HCV and NAFLD research from the past two decades. Materials and Methods: We queried PubMed for all HCV and NASH/NAFLD entries published between 2000 and 2020. We compared the total number of publications on both etiologies. We performed subanalyses for different terms of interest and for geographic origin. Results: Overall, 75,934 HCV-related entries and 24,987 NASH/NAFLD-related entries were published during the study period. Up to 2015, there was a linear upward slope in the number of annual HCV publications (154.9 publications/year, Conclusion: Trends in publications varied between both etiologies. They reflect the success of antiviral treatment for HCV. The growing rates of NAFLD/NASH and the lack of a targeted cure explain the rise in related publications.
