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: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) exhibit an elevated risk of developing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) has emerged as a novel metabolic biomarker implicated in MASLD pathogenesis. This study aimed to evaluate the association between UHR and MASLD in a T2DM population. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed clinical data from 1081 T2DM patients (464 without MASLD, 617 with MASLD). Physiological and biochemical parameters were collected and analyzed. UHR was calculated as [uric acid (mg/dL)/HDL-C (mg/dL)] × 100%. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the association between UHR and MASLD. Results: T2DM patients with MASLD had significantly higher UHR levels than those without MASLD (12.12[9.06-16.83] vs 10.36[7.65-14.08], Conclusion: Elevated UHR is independently associated with MASLD in T2DM patients, suggesting its clinical relevance in MASLD screening among this high-risk population.
