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

Excessive alcohol consumption is a major global health problem. Individuals with alcoholic liver disease often exhibit elevated serum total bile acids (TBAs). Nevertheless, the extent to which high TBA contributes to alcohol-associated liver disease (AALD) remains elusive. To investigate this, wild-type mice were categorized into normal (nTBA) and high (hTBA) TBA groups. Both groups underwent chronic-binge ethanol feeding for 4 weeks, followed by additional weekly ethanol doses. Ethanol feeding worsened AALD in both male and female mice with elevated serum TBA, characterized by liver dysfunction and steatosis. Decreased hepatic expression of genes involved in mitochondrial β-oxidation and lipid transport in ethanol-fed hTBA mice suggests that altered fatty acid metabolism contributed to AALD. Our findings, which represent the first to link high serum TBA to increased AALD susceptibility, underscore the importance of proactive serum TBA screening as a valuable tool for identifying individuals at high risk of developing AALD.
