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

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is increasingly recognized as a relatively prevalent disorder (ie, occurring in 3% of adults) that may progress to cirrhosis in 15% to 40% of those who are afflicted. NASH is a subset of a broader diagnostic category, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a term applied to a condition involving the presence of excess fat in the liver with or without inflammation and cellular injury. A diagnosis of NASH is established by the presence of morphologic changes on liver biopsy similar to those seen in alcoholic hepatitis, including hepatocellular fat accumulation, evidence of lobular inflammation and cell injury, and in some cases, progressive fibrosis. Obesity and type 2 diabetes, two conditions associated with insulin resistance, are major risk factors for the development of NASH. Accumulating evidence suggests that the hyperinsulinemia associated with insulin resistance may be important in the pathogenesis of NASH. Clinical trials will now determine whether treatment of insulin resistance is an effective therapy for NASH.
