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

Cirrhosis, accounting for 2.4% of global mortality in 2019, represents a leading cause of death in chronic liver disease. Hepatic encephalopathy (HE), a decompensated complication of cirrhosis, is associated with a median survival of only 0.92 years post-diagnosis. Current screening methods relying on neuropsychological tests (e.g., Psychometric Hepatic Encephalopathy Score, PHES) have limitations such as time-consuming procedures and subjective interpretation, potentially delaying diagnosis. To address this, we integrated four cirrhotic transcriptomic cohorts (GSE41919, GSE57193, GSE139602, and GSE15654) and employed an integrated algorithm (LASSO [Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator]-RFE [Recursive Feature Elimination]-random forest) to identify HE-specific biomarker genes. Ultimately, we developed an HE risk-prediction system centered on eight HE-specific marker genes, namely,
