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

unlabelledAims/Introduction:  We investigated the relationship between non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and different stages of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) concentrations, and the association between factors related to glucose tolerance and severity of NASH. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 147 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) who had undergone a liver biopsy were divided into three groups: a normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group, an impaired fasting glucose (IFG) group and a diabetes (DM) group. In addition, to investigate progression factors of NASH in the DM group, we divided the diabetic patients into two groups: a group with NASH (NASH group) and a group without NASH, the simple steatosis (SS) group. The relationship between the patients' clinical parameters and the severity of NAFLD/NASH were analyzed.

resultsIn the patients with liver biopsies, the IFG group had the highest percentage of NASH. There was no correlation between FPG and either total NAFLD activity scores (NAS) or staging of NASH, but the fasting serum insulin was correlated significantly with both, even after adjusting for age, sex and body mass index. Among the diabetic patients, the fasting insulin values in the NASH group were significantly higher than in the SS group, but there were no differences in FPG or A1c values between the two groups. The fasting serum insulin correlated significantly with total NAS, but the FPG and A1c values did not.

conclusionsA high percentage of the IFG group developed NASH. Hyperinsulinemia, but not hyperglycemia, was associated with severity of NASH. (J Diabetes Invest, doi: 10.1111/j.2040-1124.2011.00134.x, 2011).
