The assessment and management of cirrhotic patients with encephalopathy.
Review in United European gastroenterology journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a debilitating complication associated with both acute and chronic liver injury. It is associated with a greater risk of death than any other significant hepatic decompensation event. It manifests as a wide spectrum of neuropsychological abnormalities ranging from subtle impairments in higher cognitive function, to confusion and coma. The pathophysiological role of ammonia in the development of HE is well known, but there is increasing recognition that the gut microbiome, gut-derived systemic inflammation and development of infection can serve as drivers of HE in patients with cirrhosis. The development of HE portents to the severity of cirrhosis and the prognosis is poor without liver transplantation. A referral for liver transplantation should therefore be considered early in those who are eligible. This review covers the pragmatic assessment of HE in patients with cirrhosis, as well as the current evidence base for the best practice management of HE in such patients.
