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: We aimed to investigate the influence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and handgrip strength (HGS) on the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in the general population. Methods: We used data from 20,611 individuals from the 2014-2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. MASLD was defined as a Framingham steatosis index of ≥23. Low HGS was defined as <28 kg in men and <18 kg in women. The 10-year ASCVD risk score was assessed, and high-probability ASCVD was defined as >10%. Results: Individuals with both MASLD and low HGS had a greater risk of high-probability ASCVD (odds ratio [OR], 6.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 6.81 to 6.97; Conclusion: Individuals with MASLD and low HGS had a significantly higher risk of ASCVD than those without MASLD. Concurrent advanced liver fibrosis was further associated with increased ASCVD risk among individuals with MASLD.
