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: Recent studies have shown an association between atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but the association in a population of pregnant women remains unclear. Objectives: Our study aimed to examine the association between AIP and NAFLD in pregnant Korean women. Methods: Our study used publicly available data from Korea, which recruited singleton pregnant women between November 2014 and September 2016 who were at 10-14 weeks of gestation. The presence of NAFLD was diagnosed by liver ultrasound. AIP was calculated as log10 (TG/HDL). Participants were grouped according to AIP tertile: T1 (< 0.16, Results: After excluding data on missing variables, 586 singleton pregnant women were finally included. The subjects included in the study had an average AIP of 0.22 (0.11, 0.37), and NAFLD occurred in 110 (18.8%) pregnant women. We observed a positive linear association between AIP and NAFLD (OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.19-1.48), which persisted after adjusting for potential confounders (OR = 1.2, 95% CI: 1.06-1.37). When AIP was used as a categorical variable, after adjusting for covariates, the NAFLD risk was significantly higher in the highest tertile of AIP than in the lowest group (OR = 2.02, 95% CI: 1.11-3.68). Their correlations were stable across subgroups and sensitivity analyses. Conclusion: In this secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study of pregnant Korean women, AIP was found to be positively associated with NAFLD. These outcomes might be used to screen for NAFLD in pregnant women.
