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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. The most common cause of mortality in NAFLD is cardiovascular disease (CVD), and a key of focus in drug development is to discover therapies that target both liver injury and CVD risk. NAFLD and CVD are complex disease spectra with complex heritability patterns. Nevertheless, genome wide association studies and meta-analyses of these have identified genetic loci that are associated with increased risk of relevant pathological features of disease or clinical endpoints. This review focuses on the genetic risk loci identified in the NAFLD spectrum and asks whether any of these are also risk factors for CVD. Surprisingly, given the shared co-morbidities and risk factors, little robust evidence exists that NAFLD and CVD share genetic risk. Despite this, therapeutic intervention that targets both liver disease and CVD remains an important clinical need and a major focus for pharmaceutical development.
