Trial report in Oxidative medicine and cellular longevity, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04640324 (The Role of the PNPLA3, TM6SF2 and MBOAT7 Genetic Variants in the Response to Silybin-phospholipid Complex, Vitamin D and Vitamin E Based Therapy for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Patients), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

Nowadays, the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease represents the main chronic liver disease in the Western countries, and the correct medical therapy remains a big question for the scientific community. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect derived from the administration for six months of silybin with vitamin D and vitamin E (RealSIL 100D®) on metabolic markers, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and worsening of disease markers in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients. We enrolled 90 consecutive patients with histological diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and 60 patients with diagnosis of reflux disease (not in therapy) as healthy controls. The nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients were randomized into two groups: treated (60 patients) and not treated (30 patients). We performed a nutritional assessment and evaluated clinical parameters, routine home tests, the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, NAFLD fibrosis score and fibrosis-4, transient elastography and controlled attenuation parameter, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, tumor necrosis factor
