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 &

aimsPredicting the risk of hepatic decompensation guides prognostication and therapy; however, it is challenging in patients with cirrhosis due to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We aimed to improve a previously developed predictive tool of hepatic decompensation in MASLD cirrhosis (ABIDE) by incorporating liver stiffness measurement (LSM).

methodsA multi-centre retrospective cohort of patients with compensated cirrhosis due to MASLD was identified, with decompensation incidence assessed using competing risk regression. The prognostic accuracy of a modified ABIDE model incorporating LSM (ABID-LSM) was assessed using time-dependent AUC (tAUC) and compared with other predictive models.

resultsOut of 388 patients, 273 (70.4%) had available LSM. Hepatic decompensation occurred in 54 (20%) patients during follow-up (median 31 months, range: 20-60). The predictive accuracy at 5 years of ABID-LSM (tAUC 0.80) was better than ABIDE (tAUC 0.75, p = 0.03) and LSM (tAUC 0.63, p < 0.001). The ABID-LSM model calibrated well (slope 0.99) with excellent overall performance (Integrated Brier Score 0.15). A cut-off of 8.1 separated those at high and low risk of hepatic decompensation at 5 years (24% vs. 5%, respectively, sHR = 4.8, p < 0.001). The ABID-LSM model had better predictive ability at 5 years than ALBI, FIB-4, NAFLD Decompensation Risk Score and ANTICIPATE models (all p < 0.001) as well as hepatic vein pressure gradient measurement (tAUC 0.78 vs. 0.71, p < 0.001, n = 60).

conclusionsThe ABID-LSM model has greater accuracy in predicting hepatic decompensation in patients with cirrhosis due to MASLD than existing predictive models. If externally validated, ABID-LSM may identify those who benefit from pharmacotherapy and close monitoring.
