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 (MASLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease globally, and current estimates indicate an increase in incidence and prevalence in the general population. The design of the prospective study was to evaluate the response of patients with MASLD to an original formula consisting of silymarin, vitamin E, and essential phospholipids. In total, 200 patients were initially enrolled in the study and a total of 190 who participated in all four visits were included in our analysis. During the visits, liver function tests, lipid profiles, blood glucose level, fibrosis, and steatosis values and grades were assessed. From baseline, visit 0, to month 6th, visit III, a statistically significant difference (
