Role of fatty liver in the epidemic of advanced chronic liver disease among people with HIV: protocol for the Canadian LIVEHIV multicentre prospective cohort.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionAdvanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) is a major cause of death for people with HIV (PWH). While viral hepatitis coinfections are largely responsible for this trend, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is an emerging concern for PWH. We aimed to assess the contribution of MASLD to incident ACLD in PWH. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This multicentre prospective observational cohort study will enrol 968 consecutive HIV monoinfected patients from four Canadian sites, excluding subjects with alcohol abuse, liver disease other than MASLD, or ACLD at baseline. Participants will be followed annually for 4 years by clinical evaluation, questionnaires, laboratory testing and Fibroscan to measure liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP). The primary outcome will be incidence of ACLD, defined as LSM>10 kPa, by MASLD status, defined as CAP≥285 dB/m with at least one metabolic abnormality, and to develop a score to classify PWH according to their risk of ACLD. Secondary outcomes will include health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and healthcare resource usage. Kaplan-Meier survival method and Cox proportional hazards regression will calculate the incidence and predictors of ACLD, respectively. Propensity score methods and marginal structural models will account for time-varying exposures. We will split the cohort into a training set (to develop the risk score) and a validation set (for validation of the score). HRQoL scores and healthcare resource usage will be compared by MASLD status using generalised linear mixed effects model. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This protocol has been approved by the ethics committees of all participating institutions. Written informed consent will be obtained from all study participants. The results of this study will be shared through scientific publications and public presentations to advocate for the inclusion of PWH in clinical trials of MASLD-targeted therapies and case-finding of ACLD in PWH.
