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

Currently, there are no approved medications to treat patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with fibrosis or cirrhosis. Although the management goal in these patients is weight reduction by 7-10% with lifestyle modifications, only less than 10% of patients achieve this target at 1-year, and fewer maintain the weight loss at 5 years. Bariatric surgery is an option that may be considered in those who fail to lose weight by lifestyle changes. Bariatric surgery has been shown to improve liver histology including fibrosis secondary to NASH, in addition to other benefits including an improvement or resolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, and a reduction of cardiovascular morbidity or mortality. There are no guidelines of bariatric surgery indications for the management of NASH. The purpose of this review is to critically appraise the current knowledge of the role of bariatric surgery and the potential mechanisms for its perceived benefits in the management of patients with NASH-related liver disease.
