Gender differences in the association of body composition and biopsy-proved nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
Article in Hepatology international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
aimBody composition was associated with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), but results were controversial probably due to gender differences. Hence, we aim to explore the association of body composition and NASH in males and females.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis of obese subjects undergone liver biopsy. According to NASH Clinical Research Network system, subjects were categorized as Normal Control (NC), non-NASH or NASH. Body composition was accessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
resultsThis study enrolled 336 subjects (mean age 32.0 years, mean BMI 39.15 kg/m
conclusionsWe firstly revealed that low RMM and high AGR were the independent risk factors for NASH in males and females, respectively, indicating that sex-specific interventions for improving body composition may reduce the risk of NASH in obese subjects.
