Nonalcoholic fatty liver is a risk factor for postprandial hyperglycemia, but not for impaired fasting glucose.
Article in Journal of gastroenterology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
purposeThe first aim of this study was to elucidate the relationship between impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and nonalcoholic fatty liver. The second was to make a rule regarding to whom 75-g oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) should be applied to identify subjects with IGT and diabetes mellitus (DM) in the annual check-up at the human dry dock.
methodsA total of 716 subjects who visited the Department of General Medicine of the International Medical Center of Japan from May 2001 through January 2008 for an annual check-up at the human dry dock were analyzed. We evaluated risk factors related to nonalcoholic fatty liver using multivariate logistic regression analysis and compared the difference of body mass index (BMI) and glucose level at 75-g OGTT at two different time points in subjects whose fatty change had improved or worsened.
resultsNonalcoholic fatty liver was strongly related to 2-h- and 1-h-post-challenge glucose level (P<0.0001 and P=0.018, respectively), but not fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (P=0.706). The risk factors for IGT were nonalcoholic fatty liver (P<0.05), low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (P=0.026) and age (P=0.013). A clearly positive relationship was observed between the difference of BMI and 2-h-post-challenge glucose level among the subjects whose fatty change had improved or worsened (R=0.6, P=0.018).
conclusionsNonalcoholic fatty liver was clearly related to the 2-h- or 1-h-post-challenge glucose level, but not to FPG, in 75-g OGTT, and this IGT was corrected by body weight reduction in accordance with diminished nonalcoholic fatty liver. Thus, 75-g OGTT should be applied to subjects with nonalcoholic fatty liver to evaluate IGT.
