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

Fenofibrate is contraindicated in patients with advanced hepatic fibrosis due to limited clinical data. We evaluated the pharmacokinetics and safety of fenofibrate in participants with mild hepatic impairment (phase 1 study) or advanced fibrosis due to metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD; phase 2a study). In the phase 1 study, participants with mild hepatic impairment and healthy matched controls (each n = 10) received a single, oral dose of fenofibrate 48 mg. In the phase 2a study, participants with hypertriglyceridemia and advanced fibrosis due to MAFLD were randomly assigned (1:1) fenofibrate 48 mg (n = 15) or fenofibrate 145 mg (n = 16) combined with firsocostat 20 mg, taken orally once daily for 24 weeks. Pharmacokinetics and safety were assessed in both studies. In the phase 1 study, the AUC
