Welcome to Evidence Corner. Here we try to explain the data behind the clinical decisions we make through deep-diving studies that have shaped how we treat patients with liver disease. For each clinical question, we’ve chosen a single study and with our digestible slides, we try to concisely highlight the key aspects of the study.
