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

Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a major global health challenge, with inflammation playing a central role in its progression. As inflammation emerges as a critical therapeutic target, ongoing research aims to unravel its underlying mechanisms. This review explores the immunological pathways of ALD, highlighting the roles of immune cells and their inflammatory mediators in disease onset and progression. We also examine the complex interactions between inflammatory cells and non-parenchymal liver cells, as well as their crosstalk with extra-hepatic organs, including the gut, adipose tissue, and nervous system. Furthermore, we summarize current clinical research on anti-inflammatory therapies and discuss promising therapeutic targets. Given the heterogeneity of ALD-associated inflammation, we emphasize the need for precision medicine to optimize treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes.
