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
backgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) are both metabolic disorders that negatively impact the cardiovascular system. This study comprehensively analyzed the additive effect of MAFLD on left ventricular function and global strain in T2DM patients by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
methodsData of 261 T2DM patients, including 109 with and 152 without MAFLD, as well as 73 matched normal controls from our medical center between June 2015 and March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. CMR-derived parameters, including LV function and global strain parameters, were compared among different groups. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to investigate the impact of various factors on LV function and global strain.
resultsOur investigation revealed a progressive deterioration in LV functional parameters across three groups: control subjects, T2DM patients without MAFLD, and T2DM patients with MAFLD. Statistically significant increases in left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were observed, along with decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular global function index (LVGFI). Among these three groups, significant reductions were also noted in the absolute values of LV global radial, circumferential, and longitudinal peak strains (GRPS, GCPS, and GLPS), as well as in peak systolic (PSSR) and peak diastolic strain rates (PDSR). MAFLD was identified as an independent predictor of LVEF, LVMI, LVGFI, GRPS, GCPS, and GLPS in multivariate linear analysis. Besides, the incidence of late gadolinium enhancement was higher in MAFLD patients than in non-MAFLD patients (50/109 [45.9%] vs. 42/152 [27.6%], p = 0.003). Furthermore, escalating MAFLD severity was associated with a numerical deterioration in both LV function parameters and global strain values.
conclusionsThis study thoroughly compared CMR parameters in T2DM patients with and without MAFLD, uncovering MAFLD's adverse impact on LV function and deformation in T2DM patients. These findings highlight the critical need for early detection and comprehensive management of cardiac function in T2DM patients with MAFLD.
