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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsAlcoholic liver disease (ALD) is the leading cause of death among alcohol-related diseases, yet its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. This article employs data mining methods to conduct an indepth study of articles on ALD published in the past three decades, aiming to elucidate the pathogenesis of ALD.

methodsFirstly, articles related to the pathogenesis of ALD were retrieved from the Web of Science (WOS) database. CiteSpace 6.1.R2 and VOSviewer 1.6.18 were used to visually analyze the authors, institutions, journals, and keywords of the published articles. Secondly, by thoroughly reading the top 100 most cited articles and focusing on research hotspots such as cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), gut microbiota, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), the pathogenesis of ALD was preliminarily explored. Finally, the pathogenesis of ALD was further analyzed based on disease databases.

resultsA total of 1521 articles were retrieved from the WOS database, and 384 of these were selected for in-depth reading. From GeneCards, 9084 genes related to ALD were identified. KEGG enrichment analysis was performed using DAVID, and the hsa04936: Alcoholic liver disease pathway was selected for visualization.

conclusionsThis study preliminarily elucidates the pathogenesis of ALD, which may be associated with the release of acetaldehyde, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and various pro-inflammatory factors during alcohol metabolism. It is also closely related to gut microbiota dysbiosis and increased intestinal permeability induced by multiple factors.
