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 & Aims: Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a severe manifestation of alcoholic liver disease with high morbidity and mortality. This study used the 2016-2020 National Readmission Database to investigate how obesity influences AH outcomes. Methods: Adult hospitalizations were categorized as those without obesity, Class 1 obesity (BMI 30-34.9), Class 2 obesity (BMI 35-39.9), or Class 3 obesity (BMI ≥ 40). We compared mortality, complications, and resource utilization across these groups using regression models. Results: Among 82 367 AH admissions, 4.09% had Class 1 obesity, 2.73% had Class 2 obesity, and 4.02% had Class 3 obesity. After adjusting for confounders, Class 3 obesity was associated with higher odds of mortality (Odds ratio OR = 1.74; 95% CI: 1.40-2.17; Conclusions: Class 3 obesity conferred the greatest burden of mortality, complications, and healthcare costs among hospitalizations with AH. Further research is warranted to clarify the intricate interplay between obesity and AH.
