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: Chronic liver disease (CLD) influences the levels of diverse metabolites that may be related to its pathogenesis. The study aimed to indicate the relation between CLD and the levels of phospholipids. Methods: In this systematic review, PRISMA guidelines were considered for reporting the results. Up to November 2024, the databases of MEDLINE (through PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched. Case-control (CC) and cross-sectional (CS) studies explored the link between CLD and serum phospholipids. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) for CC studies and the modified NOS scale for CS studies were applied to evaluate the quality of the included articles. Results: A total of 11304 articles were included. Eleven thousand duplicates were removed, 9304 studies were excluded, and 343 full-text articles were reviewed. Fifteen CC studies and four CS studies were included in this study. Quality assessment using NOS revealed most studies had low to moderate risk of bias, with scores ranging from 4 to 8 out of 9.The included studies verified a significant association between the levels of total PL (TPL), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidic acid (PA), lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and liver diseases., with reported odds ratios ranging from 1.44 to 2.51 and correlation coefficients from -0.58 to 0.62. Conclusion: Phospholipid levels are associated with liver diseases. It is important to identify noninvasive ways to diagnose biological risk factors in patients with liver damage so they can be targeted for early treatment. Most of the included studies revealed significant alteration of phospholipid levels in CLD. Thus, the lipidome can predict liver dysfunction and prevent its attributed complications.
