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 and Aims: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) frequently coexists with extrahepatic autoimmune diseases (EADs), but their prevalence, characteristics, progression, and treatment effect in the Han Chinese population remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and spectrum of EADs and to assess their clinical features, disease course, and treatment outcomes in Han Chinese patients with AIH. Methods: Medical records of 371 Han Chinese patients with AIH (diagnosed from March 2016 to October 2023) were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Among the 371 AIH patients, 304 (81.94%) were female, with a median age of 52.5 years (interquartile range, 46.0-61.0). A total of 23.98% (89/371) had at least one EAD, including 27.06% (82/303) in type 1 AIH, 11.11% (7/63) in antibody-negative AIH, and none in type 2. A single EAD was the most common (20.21%, 75/371). The most frequent EADs were Sjogren's syndrome (8.63%) and autoimmune thyroid disease (8.36%). Compared with patients without EADs, those with EADs had lower alanine aminotransferase, red blood cell, and hemoglobin levels, but higher aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio and antinuclear antibody (ANA) positivity (all Conclusions: In the Han Chinese population, 23.98% of AIH patients had EADs, with Sjogren's syndrome and autoimmune thyroid disease being the most common. ANA positivity was a significant risk factor for EADs. EAD patients had a poorer initial treatment response at three months, but comparable long-term biochemical response from six months.
