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

Aim of the study: We aimed to investigate the characteristics of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and factors associated with 28-day mortality in patients with ACLF. Material and methods: This prospective study included ACLF patients based on the European Association for the Study of the Liver-Chronic Liver Failure (EASL-CLIF) Consortium criteria, admitted between March 2021 and February 2022. We examined variables associated with 28-day mortality using multivariate Cox regression analysis. Results: Of 326 patients admitted with acute decompensation (AD) of cirrhosis, 109 (33.44%) patients were diagnosed with ACLF (mean age 63.61 ±11.15 years, 65.14% males). Of these, 26.61%, 35.78%, and 37.61% of patients were in ACLF grades 1, 2, and 3 respectively. HCV (80.73%) was the main aetiology of cirrhosis. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (25.69%) was the most common trigger. Kidney failure (73.39%) was the most common organ failure. The 28-day mortality rate was 66.97%. Cox regression analysis revealed that the existence of 2 (HR = 6.99, 95% CI: 2.68-18.25, Conclusions: ACLF has a very high 28-day mortality, which is associated with the existence of 2 or more organ failures, hepatic encephalopathy, elevated serum bilirubin, and low blood pH.
