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

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, formerly referred to as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, is the most common liver disease in Western countries and has emerged as the leading indication for liver transplantation. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a more advanced stage, carries a high risk of progression to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Until recently, lifestyle intervention remained the mainstay of MASH management, with no pharmacological treatments specifically approved. However, advances in understanding its pathophysiological mechanisms have fueled numerous clinical trials, culminating in the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of resmetirom as the first treatment for MASH in 2024. Additionally, many investigational drugs are nearing FDA approval or progressing through late-stage clinical trials. This review examines the current therapeutic landscape, highlights strategies for identifying patients suitable for liver-directed therapies in real-world settings, and discusses the challenges that remain.
