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: Liver disease is often characterized by the activation of coagulation and inflammation. Experimental studies suggest that the interaction between neutrophils and platelets with local activation of coagulation could contribute to liver injury progression, but there have been limited studies in humans. Objectives: We studied the hemostatic components and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in liver biopsies from patients with different inflammatory liver diseases. Methods: Liver biopsies from patients with inflammatory liver disease (alcoholic steatohepatitis [ASH], autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, metabolic-associated steatohepatitis, and allograft ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), each Results: In 75% of the liver biopsies, no fibrin(ogen) was detectable, and only 20% of the biopsies showed minimal deposition. Overall, 50% of liver biopsies stained positive for NETs. Platelet deposition and NET formation were highest in IRI, where it correlated with histologic severity of injury (r = .61 [95% CI, .22-.84]; Conclusion: In contrast to experimental studies, we demonstrated minimal intrahepatic fibrin(ogen) deposition in different types of human inflammatory liver disease. Histologic evidence for intrahepatic NETs was common and most pronounced in acute ASH and IRI and was associated with platelet deposition and disease severity.
