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

The severity of fatty liver at ultrasound has been associated with QT length, a finding invoked to explain the excess cardiovascular risk of patients with fatty liver. However, the ability of ultrasound to stage accurately the severity of fatty liver is limited, with fibrosis a major confounder. Here, we aimed to verify the alleged relationship between fat liver content and QT length using a technique apt at discriminating steatosis from fibrosis noninvasively, i.e., transient elastography (TE) with measure of liver stiffness (LS) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP). A prospectively collected derivation cohort of 349 patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) of any etiology (
