Changes in Inpatient Coding for Hepatic Encephalopathy After Introduction of ICD-10 Code K76.82.
Article in Liver international : official journal of the International Association for the Study of the Liver, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
An ICD-10 code specific for hepatic encephalopathy (HE), K76.82, was introduced in October of 2022. We aimed to assess changes in HE documentation following the introduction of this code. Using the National Inpatient Sample, we compared utilization of ICD-10 codes historically used to identify HE before and after K76.82. From 2016 to 2021, 20.0% of cirrhosis hospitalizations included a non-specific HE code, decreasing to 4.7% in 2023. K76.82 was used in 20.3% of hospitalizations in 2023. The introduction of K76.82 has dramatically changed the documentation of HE, and future studies assessing HE trends and outcomes need to account for these changes.
