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

Background: Autoimmune liver disease (AILD) is a chronic inflammatory liver disease mediated by abnormal autoimmune response, and its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. Studies have shown that ABO blood is associated with autoimmune diseases, but the relationship between ABO blood groups and AILD has not been studied. The purpose of this study is to examine whether there is a correlation between ABO blood group and AILD. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 114 AILD patients and 1,167 healthy individuals from January 2019 to February 2024. Blood type was determined with the gel microcolumn assay. Chi-square test and logistic regression were performed to investigate the association between blood type and the risk of AILD. Results: Of 114 patients, 44 (38.60%) were diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), and 70 (61.40%) were diagnosed with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). A significant difference was found between ABO blood groups and AILD patients. Compared with the controls, blood type A was more prevalent in the AILD group (OR, 1.784; Conclusion: Our findings suggest that ABO blood groups could potentially affect the presence of AILD.
