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

Background & Aims: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease with a strong association with inflammatory bowel disease and variable disease progression. We aimed to gain insights into the role of fecal bile acids (BA) on disease progression by determining the relationships between fecal BA, diet, and gut microbes, with markers of disease progression, BA synthesis, and farnesoid X receptor (FXR) activity. Methods: BA levels in serum and stool, dietary intake, and markers of BA synthesis, and FXR activity were measured in 26 patients with early stage, large duct PSC. Fecal microbiota were quantified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results: Compared with controls, fecal unconjugated deoxycholic acid (DCA) levels were lower in patients with PSC ( Conclusions: Alcohol intake, Impact and implications: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a cholestatic liver disease with a direct interaction between the gut and the liver. In this study of patients with early-stage PSC, levels of fecal deoxycholic acid correlated with serum total bilirubin, a marker of clinical outcomes. In addition,
