The impact of hydrogen-rich water on liver enzyme levels in clinical populations: a comprehensive review and meta-analysis.
Review in Gastroenterology and hepatology from bed to bench, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effect of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on liver enzyme levels. Background: Liver disease is a significant global health concern, greatly affecting mortality rates. Elevated levels of liver enzymes, such as ALT, AST, ALP, and GGT are early symptoms of liver disorders, and various approaches can help reduce them. Recent studies have shown the prospective therapeutic advantages of hydrogen as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent in many circumstances. Methods: The search strategy was developed following PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, Google Scholar, and Embase were searched from the beginning to January 2024. Eight Randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies were included, encompassing 433 participants with various liver function disorders. Results: Our results showed a slight decrease in ALT, AST, and ALP levels in the treated group with HRW compared to the PW group. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that consuming HRW may decrease liver enzyme levels in clinical populations. Further research is needed to confirm this relationship.
