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
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the hybrid artificial liver support system (HALSS) in patients with chronic liver failure (CLF). It also sought to analyze the inflammatory response and patient prognosis. Methods: A total of 126 CLF patients were divided into three treatment groups: plasma exchange (PEG), double plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMASG), and a combination therapy group (CG). Key parameters, including liver and kidney function, blood coagulation, T lymphocyte subgroups, and inflammatory cytokine levels (TNF-a, procalcitonin [PCT], interferon-gamma [IFN-g], IL-2, IL-6, and IL-10), were assessed before and after treatment. The clinical efficacy, adverse reactions, and short-term prognosis were compared across the groups. Results: Compared to PEG and DPMASG, the combination group (CG) showed significant improvement in liver and kidney function markers, including reduced ALT, AST, total bilirubin (TBil), creatinine (Cr), INR, and prothrombin time (PT). Additionally, CG demonstrated increased levels of cholinesterase (ChE), albumin, and prothrombin activity (PTA). The CG group had a higher total clinical efficacy (92.0%) compared to PEG (76.3%) and DPMASG (78.9%). It also showed a lower rate of adverse reactions (8.0%) and improved one-year survival (36.0% vs. 18.4% and 21.1%, respectively). Furthermore, CG had the most favourable effects on inflammatory cytokine levels and T lymphocyte subsets, significantly reducing TNF-a, PCT, IFN-g, IL-2, IL-6, and IL-10. Conclusions: The combination of PEG and DPMAS (HALSS) demonstrated superior clinical efficacy in improving liver and kidney function, reducing inflammation, and enhancing patient prognosis compared to single therapies. These findings support HALSS as a promising adjunctive therapy for CLF patients, improving short-term outcomes and long-term survival.
