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

Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune liver disorder characterized by progressive cholestatic that, if untreated, can progress to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver decompensation requiring liver transplant. Although the pathogenesis of the disease is multifactorial, there is a consensus that individuals with a genetic predisposition develop the disease in the presence of specific environmental triggers. A dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota is increasingly considered among the potential pathogenic factors. Cholangiocytes, the epithelial cells lining the bile ducts, are the main target of a dysregulated immune response, and cholangiocytes senescence has been recognized as a driving mechanism, leading to impaired bile duct function, in disease progression. Bile acids are also recognized as playing an important role, both in disease development and therapy. Thus, while bile acid-based therapies, specifically ursodeoxycholic acid and obeticholic acid, have been the cornerstone of therapy in PBC, novel therapeutic approaches have been developed in recent years. In this review, we will examine published and ongoing clinical trials in PBC, including the recently approved peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist, elafibranor and seladelpar. These novel second-line therapies are expected to improve therapy in PBC and the development of personalized approaches.
