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

Aims: Considering the growing evidence linking metabolic abnormalities with liver diseases, in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), this research examined the relationship between serum uric acid (UA), hyperuricemia, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in T2DM patients. Methods: Between January 2024 and January 2025, 952 individuals with T2DM were enrolled in a single-center cross-sectional investigation conducted at the Zhengzhou People's Hospital. Associations of UA and hyperuricemia with NAFLD were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression, accompanied by subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) and generalized additive models (GAM) anlyses were applied to examine the non-linear dose-response association between UA and NAFLD. Results: Using the fully adjusted multivariate logistic regression model, hyperuricemia was found to be independently linked to a higher risk of NAFLD (OR 1.660, 95% CI: 1.094-2.521, Conclusion: Serum UA levels and hyperuricemia are independently linked to a greater likelihood of NAFLD among individuals with T2DM, underscoring the importance of UA surveillance in this group to facilitate prompt detection and precise intervention for NAFLD.
