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

Chronic liver disease (CLD) encompasses a wide range of hepatic disorders that progressively compromise liver function. To support the development of non-invasive diagnostic tools and improve patient stratification, we generated a high-throughput extracellular RNA sequencing dataset from blood plasma samples collected from patients at various stages of liver disease. Samples were obtained from two independent cohorts of 112 (cohort 1) and 489 (cohort 2) patients, and profiled using total RNA sequencing, resulting in 112 and 820 extracellular transcriptomic profiles for cohort 1 and 2, respectively. A median of 9,853 genes with counts >10 was detected in cohort 1, whereas for cohort 2 the median ranged from 5,889 to 6,998 across five sequencing runs. This dataset is provided with full documentation of the preprocessing analysis pipeline and accompanying metadata, enabling its use as an independent validation cohort for biomarker discovery and as a complementary resource for integrative multi-omics studies. The publicly available resource is intended to facilitate reproducibility and foster further research in liver disease diagnostics.
