Occurrence and prognosis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatosis liver disease and gastrointestinal tumors: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in PeerJ, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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: The metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is one of the most common causes of chronic and abnormal liver function tests globally. The relationship between metabolic MASLD and gastrointestinal tumors (GI) remains controversial. Methodology: We conducted a systematic review based on a protocol registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024590389). PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase were systematically searched until November 2025, Quality assessment and data extraction were performed by two investigators, and the hazard ratios and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals were combined using Stata for data analysis. Results: A total of 29 studies were included, we found that MASLD were related to colorectal polyps ( Conclusion: We conclude that there is a significant association and prognosis between MASLD and gastrointestinal tumors. Further studies should focus on prospective studies and mechanistic insights.
