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
<p>Introduction: Although alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a leading cause of liver transplantation, most patients with ALD are never evaluated. This study aims to investigate the prognostic assessment process of medical professionals often involved in treating patients with ALD. We wanted to assess the possible effect of disease understanding, stigmatization, experience in transplantation, and addiction medicine on the liver transplantation evaluation process.
methodsThe study was conducted as an anonymous online survey. In total, 407 health professionals were included in the study (291 medical doctors, 86 nurses, and 30 psychologists). The participants were invited to review five cases of potential liver transplantation candidates and assess the prognostic outcome ("positive control," "negative control," "missing illness insight," "missing social support," "abstinence under 6 months").
resultsMean prognostic assessment scores were significantly different between the cases, with abstinence under 6 months being graded the highest, followed by lack of social support and lack of disease insight. We fitted a linear regression to model the influence of stigmatization, individual alcohol use, disease understanding, and experience in transplant and addiction medicine on the appraisal of each case. All models were significant (Model 1: R = 0.201, p = 0.005; Model 2: R = 0.312, p < 0.001; Model 3: R = 0.291, p < 0.001; Model 4: R = 0.283, p < 0.001; Model 5: R = 0.285, p < 0.001). All factors had a significant effect on one or more of the cases.
conclusionsThe findings suggest that patient and evaluator characteristics significantly impact the prognostic assessment process of patients with ALD and highlight potential biases when assessing the prognosis. </p>.
