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: The association between grip strength (GS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been reported by recent epidemiological studies, however, the results of these studies are inconsistent. This meta-analysis was conducted to collect all available data and estimate the risk of NAFLD among people with low GS, as well as the risk of low GS among patients with NAFLD. Methods: We systematically searched several literature databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase from inception to March 2022. These observational studies reported the risk of NAFLD among people with low GS and/or the risk of low GS among patients with NAFLD. Qualitative and quantitative information was extracted, statistical heterogeneity was assessed using the Results: Of the citations, 10 eligible studies involving 76,676 participants met inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis of seven cross-section studies (69,757 participants) showed that people with low GS had increased risk of NAFLD than those with normal GS (summary OR = 3.32, 95% CI: 1.91-5.75). In addition, the meta-analysis of four studies (14,920 participants) reported that the risk of low GS patients with NAFLD was higher than those in normal people (summary OR = 3.31, 95% CI: 2.45-4.47). Conclusion: In this meta-analysis, we demonstrated a strong relationship between low GS and NAFLD. We found an increased risk of NAFLD among people with low GS, and an increased risk of lower GS among NAFLD patients.
