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

A change in hepatic blood flow caused by the hepatic arterial buffer response (HABR) occurs as fatty liver disease progress. The aim of this longitudinal cohort study was to investigate whether fatty liver with the HABR induces metabolic disorders. In 2009 and 2010, 494 (89.5%) participants were enrolled. The median follow-up duration was 5.0 (interquartile range, 3.9-6.0) years. The hazard ratios of fatty liver with the HABR for incident metabolic disorders were assessed by Cox proportional hazard models. A non-fatty liver group (non-FL group, hepatorenal echo intensity ratio <1.12), a fatty liver without portal hypertension (FL group, hepatorenal echo intensity ratio ≥1.12 and ratio of the maximal blood velocity in the right hepatic artery to maximal blood velocity in the right portal vein <3.1) group, and a fatty liver with portal hypertension (FL-HABR group, hepatorenal echo intensity ratio ≥1.12 and ratio of the maximal blood velocity in the right hepatic artery to maximal blood velocity in the right portal vein ≥3.1) group were defined based on echo intensity and Doppler ultrasonography. Fatty liver with and without the HABR was significantly associated with the incidence of diabetes on multivariate analysis (non-FL versus FL group, hazard ratio, 3.36; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-12.85; FL versus FL with the HABR group, HR, 2.68; 95% confidence interval, 1.28-6.04). With respect to the incidence of hypertension and dyslipidemia, only FL with the HABR was a significant factor (hypertension, non-FL versus FL,
