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

This study investigated changes in the level of serum 25-OH vitamin D [25-hydroxyvitamin D, 25(OH)D] in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the correlation between the severity of NAFLD and 25(OH)D. A retrospective analysis was performed on 385 NAFLD patients (NAFLD group) admitted to the Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University from January 2015 to December 2017 and 347 healthy people with physical examination (control group). The height and weight of all subjects were measured, and BMI was calculated. Fasting venous blood was extracted for the determination of blood glucose, blood lipid and 25(OH)D. The indicator levels of patients in the two groups were compared and analyzed. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between the severity of NAFLD and the level of 25(OH)D. The levels of BMI, FPG, FPI, HbA1c, TG, TC and LDL-C of patients in the NAFLD group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The level of 25(OH)D in the NAFLD group was lower than that in control group (P<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between 25(OH)D and the severity of patients in the NAFLD group (r=-0.868, P<0.001). BMI, FPG, FPI, HbA1c, TG, TC and LDL-C were independent risk factors for the low level of 25(OH)D (P<0.05). Lowly expressed in the serum of NAFLD patients, 25(OH)D has a significant negative correlation with the severity of NAFLD, which is of guiding significance for the prevention and treatment. 25(OH)D is a novel biomarker for NAFLD diagnosis and a potential drug target.
