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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with a higher risk of atherosclerotic disease. However, the relationships between the severity of coronary atherosclerosis and pathologic findings in patients with NAFLD remain unknown. We aimed to characterize the coronary artery lesions in patients with NAFLD using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Overall, 101 patients with liver biopsy-proven NAFLD who had chest pain or electrocardiographic abnormalities underwent CCTA. Coronary artery lesions, including coronary artery stenosis (CAS), calcium score (CACS, Agatston score), and coronary artery non-calcified plaque were assessed using multi-slice CT. Multivariate analysis showed that age, smoking status, prevalence of dyslipidemia (DLP) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and stage of fibrosis were independent risk factors for CAS. Age, and the prevalence of DM and DLP, were independent risk factors for CACS, and the prevalence of NASH tended to be an independent risk factor. In addition, the prevalence of DLP and NASH were independent risk factors for non-calcified plaques. Coronary artery lesions are more common in patients with NASH than in those with non-alcoholic fatty liver, suggesting a higher risk in patients with NASH. Therefore, patients with NASH should be closely followed, with particular vigilance for coronary artery diseases.
