Pilot study on the effectiveness of the traditional Karlovy Vary thermal spring drinking cure in the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

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
The aim of this research was to objectively assess the effectiveness of the traditional drinking cure using Karlovy Vary mineral springs, focusing on the quantitative measurement of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), through the determination of liver elasticity before and after a 21-day course of therapy. The study included randomly selected subjects from the Karlovy Vary population, aiming to scientifically validate the health benefits associated with this long-standing therapeutic practice, particularly with respect to metabolic health and liver function.
