Women with cirrhosis have lower self-rated health than men.
Article in Hepatology communications, 2023. 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
backgroundWomen systematically experience lower rates of liver transplantation (LT) and higher rates of waitlist mortality than men. Self-rated health has been associated with patient outcomes in the global population. We, therefore, assessed gender differences in self-rated and clinician-rated health among LT candidates.
methodsAmbulatory LT candidates without hepatocellular carcinoma were enrolled from 2012 to 2018. Participants and their hepatologists were asked separately to rate the participant's overall general health on a 6-point scale (0="excellent" to 5="very poor"). Logistic regression was used to assess the associations between covariates and superior self-assessment, defined as 1 SD above the mean self-assessment score.
resultsOf 855 participants, the median (interquartile range) self-rated health score was 2 (1-3); 156 (18%) were categorized as superior self-rated health. The correlation between self-rated and clinician-rated health was positive (Spearman's rho 0.3, P<0.001). In univariate analysis, being a woman was associated with lower odds of superior self-rated health (OR 0.7, 95% CI 0.5-1.0, P=0.04), which persisted on multivariable analysis (aOR 0.7, 95% CI 0.4-1.0, P=0.05), controlling for race, frailty, work status, comorbidities, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-Na, hepatic encephalopathy, and ascites.
conclusionThese findings highlight the need for well-designed quality-based research to determine how our patients perceive health to highlight opportunities to offer more comprehensive, quality-based care.
