Fatty liver increases gallstone disease risk in younger Chinese patients.
Article in Medicine, 2019. 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
We investigated possible associations between fatty liver and gallstone disease (GD) in a Chinese population.This cross-sectional study included 897 people who visited the clinical center and underwent ultrasonography at The First Hospital of Jilin University between January 2018 and June 2018.The overall prevalence of GD was 8.8%; the between-sex difference (9.3% in men, 8.4% in women) was not statistically significant. The risk of GD was similar for men and women across all age groups. GD prevalence increased steadily with increasing age, from 2.1% in patients ≤30 years of age to 15.4% in those >70 years of age. Older age (≥50 years) and fatty liver were associated with GD development. Diabetes mellitus (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 3.066; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.563-6.013) was associated with GD in female but not in male subjects. In younger patients (<50 years), fatty liver (AOR: 5.268; 95% CI: 1.832-15.147) was associated with GD development.The factors older age and fatty liver predicted GD risk in Chinese individuals. Further studies are required to explore differences in lithogenesis according to sex.
