Diagnostic delays in alcoholic cirrhosis: A cross-sectional study of contributing factors.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundStudies investigating diagnostic delays and their effects on patients with alcoholic cirrhosis.
aimTo investigate the current status and associated factors influencing diagnostic delays in 401 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis.
methodsA cross-sectional analysis was conducted at a tertiary hospital in China from June 2020 to December 2023. Data were collected through telephone follow-ups and questionnaires. The Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis
resultsThe median diagnostic delay was 5 months, with an interquartile range of 2-11 months. The proportions of patients with alcoholic cirrhosis who initially visited tertiary, secondary, and primary hospitals were 38.9%, 37.91%, and 23.19%, respectively. Furthermore, the rates of patients undergoing liver computed tomography (CT) during their first visit at tertiary, secondary, and primary hospitals were 92.95%, 13.82%, and 1.08%, respectively (
conclusionOur study indicates that patients with alcoholic cirrhosis may experience varying degrees of diagnostic delay. Interventions targeting potential factors contributing to diagnostic delay are necessary.
