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

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH, also known as MASH) is a severe form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD, also known as MASLD). Emerging data indicate that the progression of the disease to MASH is higher in postmenopausal women and that genetic susceptibility increases the risk of MASH-related cirrhosis. This study aimed to investigate the association between genetic polymorphisms in MASH and sexual dimorphism. We applied whole-exome sequencing (WES) to identify gene variants in 8 age-adjusted matched pairs of livers from both male and female patients. Sequencing alignment, variant calling, and annotation were performed using standard methods. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) coupled with Sanger sequencing and immunoblot analysis were used to validate specific gene variants. cBioPortal and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were used for actionable target analysis. We identified 148,881 gene variants, representing 57,121 and 50,150 variants in the female and male cohorts, respectively, of which 251 were highly significant and MASH sex-specific (
