Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Coronary Artery Calcification in a Northern Chinese Population: a Cross Sectional Study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become an emerging health issue with a high prevalence in general population. The cross-sectional study was performed to investigate the association between NAFLD and coronary artery calcification (CAC) in individuals from northern city of China. A total of 2345 participants aged ≥40 (1035 men and 1310 women) were selected from the Jidong community of Tangshan city. Liver ultrasonography was used to the diagnosis of NAFLD. A 64-slice CT scanner was used to determine coronary artery calcification score (CACS), with CACS > 0 defined to be the presence of CAC. The risk level of coronary heart disease (CHD) was graded by CACS according to the 4 commonly used thresholds in clinical practice (0, 10, 100, and 400 Agatston units). NAFLD was significantly associated with CAC (crude OR: 1.631, 95% CI: 1.295-2.053, adjusted OR: 1.348, 95% CI: 1.030-1.765). The association between NAFLD and increased risk level of CHD (Crude OR: 1.639 95% CI: 1.303-2.063; adjusted OR: 1.359 95% CI: 1.043-1.770) was observed. The associations between NAFLD and CAC or increased risk level of CHD were significant in female but not in male. Our finding further confirmed the association between NAFLD and CAC, especially in Asian population.
