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: Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD), a prevalent yet reversible stage of alcoholic liver pathology, is often associated with folate deficiency. This study investigated the association between folate status and AFLD risk and explored the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Data from NHANES 2011-2020 ( Results: Higher serum folate levels were significantly associated with reduced AFLD risk across all adjusted models (Model 3 Q4 vs. Q1, OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.22-0.54). Serum 5-MTHF levels were inversely associated with the severity of steatosis ( Conclusion: Serum folate and 5-MTHF are protective factors against AFLD. Furthermore, folic acid can ameliorate hepatic steatosis by inhibiting SREBP-1c-mediated lipogenesis, highlighting its potential in AFLD prevention and therapy.
