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

backgroundAlcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) is the clinical manifestation of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). AH is a complex disease encompassing the dysregulation of many cells and cell subpopulations. This study used a hepatic spatial transcriptomic and proteomic approach (10X Genomics Visium) to identify hepatic cell populations and their associated transcriptomic and proteomic alterations in human AH.

methodsFormalin-fixed paraffin-embedded liver tissue from AH patients (n = 2) and non-ALD controls (donors) (n = 2) were used for Visium spatial transcriptomic and proteomic analysis.

resultsAH cell clusters and cell markers were drastically different in regard to tissue pattern and number of cell types compared to non-ALD controls. Cholangiocytes, endothelial cells, macrophages, and stellate cells were more profuse in AH relative to non-ALD controls. Transcriptionally, proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive (PCNA

conclusionsThis study identified global cell type alterations in AH and distinct transcriptomic changes between AH and non-ALD controls. These findings characterize cellular plasticity and profuse transcriptomic and proteomic changes that are apparent in AH and contribute to the identification of novel therapeutics.
