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

backgroundClinical guidelines emphasise identifying patients at risk of chronic liver disease progression. To avoid biopsy drawbacks, noninvasive imaging tests (NITs) have become part of standard-of-care. We assessed the real-world clinical profile, referral trends, and use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based tests, multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), as part of chronic liver disease management.

methodsPatients referred for abdominal imaging as part of standard-of-care were eligible for inclusion irrespective of liver aetiology or referral pathway. Liver fibrosis was assessed using MRE and disease severity using mpMRI (disease activity [iron-corrected T1, cT1], liver fat content [LFC] and iron). T-tests were used for group comparisons; Kaplan-Meier analyses for disease progression and area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) for diagnostic accuracy.

resultsOver 18 months, 256 patients (53 years, 51% female, 48% with BMI > 30 kg/m

conclusionRegardless of aetiology, patients with low fibrosis risk (MRE) but high disease activity (cT1) face a three-times higher risk of progression. Integrating both biomarkers into standard care, especially for SLD, can guide management adjustments.
