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: This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of Golgi protein 73 (GP73), laminin-γ2 monomer (LG2m), and the GLAS score in detecting advanced fibrosis in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Methods: This study included patients with MASLD who underwent liver biopsy. The performance of serum levels of GP73 and LG2m and the GLAS score to diagnose advanced fibrosis was evaluated using area under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROC). Results: The data for 209 patients with MASLD were analyzed [median age 52 (42-58) years, 53.1% men, 71.3% had steatohepatitis, 18.1% had advanced fibrosis]. The serum levels of GP73 and LG2m and the GLAS score were significantly higher in patients with advanced fibrosis compared to patients without advanced fibrosis [GP73: 83 ± 50 ng/mL vs. 61 ± 35 ng/mL, Conclusion: Serum LG2m level and the GLAS score have fair accuracy for the diagnosis of advanced fibrosis in patients with MASLD.
