Infection‑associated bile acid disturbance contributes to macrophage activation in patients with cirrhosis.

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
Cirrhosis impairs macrophage function and disrupts bile acid homeostasis. Although bile acids affect macrophage function in patients with sepsis, whether and how the bile acid profile is changed by infection in patients with cirrhosis to modulate macrophage function remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the changes in the bile acid profile of patients with cirrhosis and infection and their effects on macrophage function. Serum was collected from 20 healthy subjects, 18 patients with cirrhosis and 39 patients with cirrhosis and infection. Bile acid profiles were detected using high‑performance liquid chromatography‑triple time‑of‑flight mass spectrometer. The association between bile acid changes and infection was analysed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Infection‑altered bile acids were used in combination with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to stimulate RAW264.7/THP‑1 cells
