Optimizing clinic consultations in primary biliary cholangitis: International consensus recommendations.
Article in Hepatology communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThere is variability in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) care delivery in practice, which can negatively impact disease management and patients' quality of life. Patient-provider consultations are key to ensure optimal and comprehensive disease management; however, the quality and substance of this interaction may vary. A Delphi study was carried out to provide consensus recommendations to improve and standardize consultations between providers and patients with PBC.
methodsAn international survey of 151 healthcare professionals was conducted with input from 9 PBC experts (6 physicians, 1 patient, 1 patient advocate, and 1 nurse practitioner) who formed the Delphi panel. Informed by findings of the survey, the panel used Delphi methodology to develop best practice recommendations with the aim of informing the broader care framework. Consensus was defined as ≥75% agreement among panel members.
resultsWe identified 15 best practice recommendations across 3 principal areas: "patient-provider discussions at diagnosis/first consultation," "symptom assessment and ongoing management," and "wider care and support." These consensus-based recommendations are a resource for providers to help address patient needs around symptom burden, referrals to specialists other than hepatologists, and connection to patient support organizations.
conclusionWe provide specific recommendations for providers to optimize consultation for patients with PBC with the aim of improving care and patient satisfaction.
