Review in World journal of gastroenterology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06588699 (Clinical Trial of Oral Digoxin In NASH), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Repurposing of the widely available and relatively cheap generic cardiac gly-coside digoxin for non-cardiac indications could have a wide-ranging impact on the global burden of several diseases. Over the past several years, there have been significant advances in the study of digoxin pharmacology and its potential non-cardiac clinical applications, including anti-inflammatory, antineoplastic, metabolic, and antimicrobial use. Digoxin holds promise in the treatment of gastrointestinal disease, including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and alcohol-associated steatohepatitis as well as in obesity, cancer, and treatment of viral infections, among other conditions. In this review, we provide a summary of the clinical uses of digoxin to date and discuss recent research on its emerging applications.
