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
Background: Alcohol-related liver disease contributes significantly to global mortality and healthcare costs, underscoring the urgency of early detection and non-invasive diagnostic tools such as transient elastography. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the severity of alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS) and liver dysfunction assessed via transient elastography in newly diagnosed patients. Materials and Methods: From October 2019 to September 2021, a cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 58 inpatients diagnosed with ADS according to International Classification of Diseases-10 criteria. The severity of alcohol dependence was assessed using the Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire (SADQ), serum biochemical markers, and liver stiffness measured by transient elastography within 96 hours of admission and again after four weeks of enforced abstinence. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences, with descriptive statistics applied to socio-demographic and clinical data. Paired t-tests compared biochemical markers, and Spearman rank correlation analyzed the relationship between SADQ scores and liver stiffness at admission and after abstinence. Results: Initial SADQ scores indicated moderate alcohol dependence in 55% of participants. According to Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, 38% had a medium-to-severe risk of harmful alcohol consumption. Liver fibrosis assessment showed that 63.8% had no or mild fibrosis on day 1, increasing to 81.0% by day 28. Moderate to advanced fibrosis (measured above 7.5 kilopascal) decreased from 8.6%, 12.1%, and 15.5% on day 1 to 3.4%, 5.2%, and 10.3% on day 28, respectively. There was a statistically significant ( Conclusions: The study underscores that the greater severity of alcohol dependence correlates with more pronounced liver function impairments and stiffness. Transient elastography indicated significant liver fibrosis in actively drinking patients, with notable improvement after one month of abstinence.
