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 steatohepatitis (MASH) is a progressive form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) involving hepatocyte destruction, inflammation, and typically pericellular fibrosis, potentially progressing to cirrhosis. Resmetirom, a T3 analogue and an oral agonist of thyroid hormone receptor-β(THR-β), represents a significant advancement in targeted drug therapy for MASH as the first US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatment. Clinical trials have shown that resmetirom effectively improves MASH markers, reduces liver fat content, and exhibits high selectivity for THR-β, which is predominantly expressed in the liver. Despite promising research data, challenges remain in the treatment of MASH with resmetirom, including adverse reactions and limited efficacy in some patients. This article reviews the discovery, mechanisms, and clinical evaluation of resmetirom in detail, and discusses the challenges encountered in MASH precision therapy.
