A Retrospective Study to Examine the Correlation of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis with Shear-wave Elastography in Indian Patients with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Diabetes on Background Sodium-glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitor Therapy.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are often insulin resistant. Several recent studies show NAFLD to be associated with cardiovascular risk. Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a common approach for body composition measurements and is a noninvasive, low-cost modality. Shear-wave elastography (SWE) works using an acoustic radiation force pulse sequence that generates shear-waves that estimates the liver stiffness. Objectives The primary objective was to assess the correlation between SWE values and BIA values in an Indian population. The hypothesis is that with the increase in BIA value measuring visceral fat percentage, the SWE value measuring liver stiffness should increase. Materials and methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinic data of 36 patients properly screened from July 2018 to December 2018, who matched our prespecified inclusion criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Insta Version 3.0
