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 and Aims: Most data on liver assessment in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are from retrospective cohorts with selection bias. We aimed at appraising the feasibility, results, and benefits of an outpatient systematic noninvasive screening for metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) severity and determinants in T2DM patients. Methods: We conducted a 50-week cross-sectional study enrolling adult T2DM outpatients from a diabetes clinic. An algorithm based on guidelines was applied using simple bioclinical scores and, if applicable, ultrasound and/or elastometry. Results: Two hundred and thirteen patients were included. Mean age and body mass index were 62 years and 31 kg/m Conclusions: Simple bioclinical tools allowed routine triage of T2DM patients for MAFLD severity, with high adherence of high-risk patients to subsequent noninvasive exams.
