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

Alcohol is generally believed to be metabolized in the liver by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), and to a much lesser extent cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) and other enzymes. Recent studies suggest that gut also play important roles in the promotion of alcohol metabolism. ADH, ALDH, and CYP2E1 have several polymorphisms that markedly impact alcohol metabolism. These alcohol-metabolizing enzymes not only affect alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), but may also modulate the pathogenesis of other liver diseases and cancer in the absence of alcohol consumption. In this review, we discuss alcohol metabolism and the roles of alcohol-metabolizing enzymes in the pathogenesis of ALD, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, metabolic dysfunction and alcohol-associated liver disease, viral hepatitis, and liver cancer. We also discuss how alcohol-metabolizing enzymes may affect endogenous ethanol production, and how ethanol metabolism in the gut affects liver disease and cancer. Directions for future research on the roles of alcohol-metabolizing enzymes in liver disease and cancer are also elaborated.
