Autoimmune hepatitis and overlap syndrome among Alaska Native people: Prevalence, clinical characteristics, and remission.

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
Background and Aim: High autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and overlap syndrome (OS) prevalence have been previously documented among Alaska Native people. The purpose of this project is to report changes in AIH/OS prevalence over time, clinical characteristics, and factors associated with biochemical remission. Methods: We reviewed medical records for Alaska Native/American Indian (AN/AI) patients diagnosed with AIH/OS between 1984 and 2021. Point prevalence was calculated based on AIH/OS patients alive at the end of 2021 and at 5-year intervals from July 1, 2000, to July 1, 2020. Results: We identified 189 AN/AI persons diagnosed with AIH or OS (157 AIH, 32 OS). Of these 189, 137 were alive at the end of 2021 for a point prevalence of 91.2 per 100 000 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 77.2-107.8)-75.9 (95% CI: 63.2-91.2) for AIH and 15.3 (95% CI: 10.2-23.0) for OS. Prevalence for both AIH and OS has risen steadily since 2000. Eighty-nine consented participants (62.7%) achieved biochemical remission with a median time from diagnosis to start of remission of 1.9 years (IQR 0.5-5.0 years). Consented patients with fatty liver were less likely to achieve remission, but their time to remission was shorter than for patients without fatty liver. Conclusion: The AN/AI population in Alaska continues to have the highest reported prevalence of AIH/OS in the world, with prevalence rising steadily since 2000. High reported AIH/OS prevalence is likely due in part to strong referral networks for liver disease. Detection and treatment can lead to biochemical remission and improved health outcomes.
