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: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and related health issues are increasing in Indian women with morbid obesity, but the standard diagnostic tool - abdominal ultrasound sonography (USG) - is costly and less accessible. This study aims to identify an affordable and effective biomarker panel to improve early detection and screening of NAFLD in resource-l imited settings. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 106 consecutive patients aged between 18 and 70 years with morbid obesity defined by body mass index (BMI) ≥32.5 kg/m Results: The mean age was 40.2 ± 10.9 years, and the mean BMI was 41.5 ± 5.8 kg/m Conclusion: Simple screening tools can be used to detect fatty liver disease in clinical practice. In our cohort, TyG index was found to be the best tool for identifying NAFLD, with LAP showing potential as a secondary option.
