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

backgroundMetabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), formerly nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, is characterized by fat accumulation and inflammation of the liver and may result in progression to cirrhosis and liver-related events.

objectiveTo characterize the impact of cirrhosis and progression to liver-related events on costs and health care resource use (HCRU) among MASH patients in the United States.

methodsThe study cohort included patients with diagnosed nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (

resultsA total of 28,576 adults were included, and 9,157 (32.0%) had baseline cirrhosis; of the 19,419 without baseline cirrhosis, a total of 4,235 (21.8%) progressed over follow-up. Mean (SD) HCRU and costs PPPY were higher among patients with cirrhosis ($110,403 [$226,037]) than without ($28,340 [$61,472];

conclusionsThe financial burden of MASH is substantial and significantly greater among those with cirrhosis or disease progression. Although patients without cirrhosis incur lower burden, the increase over time is greater and associated with progression. Therapies that slow progression may help alleviate the financial burden, and strategies are needed to identify patients with MASH at risk of progressing to cirrhosis.
