Article in Hepatology forum, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aim: While liver biopsy remains the reference standard for assessing hepatic fibrosis, the major prognostic factor in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), its inherent limitations have driven the search for innovative non-invasive diagnostic tests. In this study, we sought to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of plasma Materials and Methods: Patients with biopsy-proven MASLD and healthy controls were recruited from the three institutions. Quantitative methylation of circulating cell-free DNA was assessed using bisulfite modification and pyrosequencing. The resulting data were used to develop linear discriminant analysis, random forest, and support vector machine algorithms to identify patients at different stages of fibrosis. Results: The study included 234 patients with histologically confirmed MASLD and 43 healthy controls. Each dataset was validated using an independent cohort. Advanced fibrosis was associated with elevated plasma Conclusion: Supervised machine learning algorithms incorporating plasma
