Sonographic Features of the Liver Among Females with Type 2 Diabetes.

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
The craniocaudal (CC) length of the right lobe of the liver (RLL), liver texture, size of the main portal vein, and hemodynamics of the hepatic artery, were sonographically evaluated in female diabetic and non-diabetic patients. A One-way ANOVA, a Tukey's post-hoc test, and a Kruskal-Wallis with post-hoc Dunn's test, were employed. Non-symptomatic differences in liver anatomy were detected among non-controlled type 2 diabetes patients. They exhibited the longest CC length of the RLL (p = 0.04) as well as an enlarged main portal vein (p = 0.04). Hepatic artery resistive index (RI) was higher among controlled type 2 diabetes patients (p = 0.04). These differences were not attributed to fatty infiltration. Non-controlled type 2 diabetes patients exhibited significantly higher alanine aminotransferase, lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and higher triglyceride levels, than in non-type 2 diabetes patients. Longitudinal sonography may provide valuable diagnostic information in the management of type 2 diabetes.
