Integrative Hepatology: Enhancing overall health to manage liver disease.
Article in Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Despite remarkable advances in diagnostics, pharmacotherapy, and transplantation, conventional hepatology often falls short in addressing the persistent symptoms, impaired quality of life, and broader health needs of people living with chronic liver disease. Integrative Hepatology-rooted in the principles of integrative medicine-offers a holistic, evidence-informed approach that combines conventional hepatology with complementary modalities to address the biological, nutritional, physical, psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental determinants of liver health. This framework emphasizes multimodal, patient-centered care aimed at improving both liver-specific and overall health outcomes. We outline 3 models for implementation: (1) foundational knowledge for all hepatologists, incorporating core skills in nutrition, physical activity, and mind-body practices; (2) collaborative referral networks to integrative health providers; and (3) specialized hepatologists with advanced training in integrative medicine. Examples of application to fatigue, cramps, falls, and mental health in chronic liver disease illustrate the potential for non-pharmacologic and complementary strategies to enhance patient well-being. Implementation faces challenges, including evidence gaps, limited training, time constraints, reimbursement barriers, and inequitable access, but opportunities exist through education, interdisciplinary collaboration, group medical visits, and digital health delivery. By expanding the scope of liver care to include whole-person health, Integrative Hepatology seeks not to replace established therapies but to augment their impact-supporting patients in achieving optimal health across the disease spectrum.
