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

Identifying hepatic fibrosis is paramount in managing patients with chronic liver disease. The etiology of liver disease can be owing to many factors, including chronic viral hepatitis, steatotic liver diseases such as alcohol-associated liver disease or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, and cholestatic liver diseases. Currently, invasive liver biopsy with histopathologic evaluation is the gold standard; however, noninvasive tests are becoming more prevalent, especially because they do not carry the risks of invasive procedures such as biopsy. This article reviews noninvasive tests for fibrosis, separating them into blood-based and imaging-based tests.
