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

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is nowadays the most common etiology of chronic liver disease, is associated with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with or without cirrhosis. Owing to the high prevalence of NAFLD worldwide, it becomes crucial to develop adequate strategies for surveillance of HCC and new prediction models aiming at stratifying NAFLD population for HCC risk. To this purpose, several noninvasive tests (NITs) have been proposed in the several last years, including clinical parameters, serum biomarkers, and imaging techniques. Most of these tools are focused on the assessment of liver fibrosis. Both ultrasound (US) elastography (especially transient elastography) and magnetic resonance (MR) elastography have been evaluated to estimate HCC risk in NAFLD patients. Recently, the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) include these techniques among the recommended NITs for the assessment of liver fibrosis. The aim of this review is to summarize the most recent data on the role of US and MR elastography in HCC risk stratification in patients with NAFLD.
