Autoantibodies: are they a clue for liver diseases?
Article in Clinical and experimental hepatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Autoantibody testing has contributed to both biological and clinical insights in managing patients with liver disease. These autoantibodies often have clinical value for the diagnosis, disease activity and/or prognosis. Aim of the study: We aimed to investigate the potential application of auto-antibodies in different etiologies of non-autoimmune liver diseases. Material and methods: This study was conducted on 53 infants and children with chronic liver diseases. The patients were subjected to clinical history and examination, laboratory investigations and abdominal ultrasound. Serum of all infants and children was tested for measurement of antiprothrombin antibody and anti-b2-glycoprotein I (ab2GPI) and anticardiolipin (ACL) auto-antibodies using a fully-automated enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system. Results: The mean age of the infants with cholestatic liver diseases was significantly lower than those with metabolic liver diseases, hepatitis C virus (HCV) and vascular liver diseases ( Conclusions: Testing for liver-related autoantibodies should be included in the workup of patients with chronic liver diseases. Further studies are needed to explain the cause-effect association of ACL, ab2GPI and antiprothrombin with chronic HCV and vascular liver diseases.
