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

backgroundSteatosis is a common feature of intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) in adult and older pediatric patients receiving long-term parenteral nutrition (PN). There are limited clinical data concerning steatosis in infants with short bowel syndrome (SBS). We investigated early histopathological steatosis and its association to PN.

methodsIn this retrospective study, 31 patients with SBS had a diagnostic liver biopsy taken at the median age of 5 (IQR 3-8) months. Follow-up biopsy was available for 24 patients at the median age of 29 (IQR 14-52) months. We evaluated the biopsies for steatosis and other histopathological signs of IFALD and compared results with patient characteristics, PN composition, and liver biochemistry.

resultsDiagnostic biopsies revealed steatosis in 8 (26%) patients. At the age of 3 months, patients with steatosis had received higher amounts of parenteral glucose: median 15.1 (IQR 12.4-17.2) vs 12.3 (8.7-14.4) g/kg/d (P = 0.04), amino acids: 2.9 (2.5-3.4) vs 2.2 (1.6-2.7) g/kg/d (P = 0.03), and energy: 87 (80-98) vs 73 (54-79) kcal/kg/d (P = 0.01) than those without steatosis. We detected no significant differences in parenteral lipid intake between the groups. Steatosis also associated with increased serum bile acid (P = 0.02), alanine aminotransferase (P = 0.0002), and aspartate aminotransferase (P = 0.001) levels.

conclusionsIn this cohort, high parenteral glucose, amino acid, and energy provision associated with liver steatosis in infants with SBS. We recommend monitoring of bile acid and transaminase levels while aiming for PN with balanced macronutrient supply according to current recommendations to protect the liver from steatosis.
