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

Objective: To explore the connection between metabolic parameters and the severity of hepatic steatosis determined through ultrasound in elderly individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Methods: 4,663 senior individuals who were 65 years of age or older were included in this research. They were examined physically at the Ninghai Street Community Health Service Center in Yantai City between June 7, 2021, and October 15, 2021. There were two categories of individuals identified: the MAFLD group ( Results: In comparison to the non-MAFLD group, the MAFLD group showed significantly elevated levels of body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, gender, age, lipid profile, alanine transaminase (ALT), and fasting blood glucose (FBG; Conclusion: The severity of hepatic steatosis in elderly MAFLD patients is significantly correlated with female gender, BMI, ALT, FBG, TG, and SUA.
