A Low Creatinine to Body Weight Ratio Predicts the Incident Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Nonelderly Chinese without Obesity and Dyslipidemia: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Gastroenterology research and practice, 2020. 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
aimA lower ratio of creatinine to body weight (Cr/BW) is considered the independent risk factor for incident nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the relationship between the Cr/BW ratio and NAFLD among individuals without obesity and dyslipidemia and how this relationship is impacted by age are still ambiguous. Therefore, we explored the effect of the Cr/BW ratio on the incident NAFLD among Chinese without obesity and dyslipidemia of different age groups.
methodsA total of 9756 participants without NAFLD at baseline were included and grouped by the median value (1.32) of the Cr/BW ratio. Then, a further analysis was stratified by age (60 years old). The primary outcome was new-onset NAFLD.
resultsAfter a median follow-up of 2.76 years, 844 (8.7%) participants developed NAFLD. The elderly had a higher person-years incidence rate and cumulative incidence rate than the nonelderly. A high Cr/BW ratio showed a lower cumulative incidence compared to a low Cr/BW ratio for the whole population (
conclusionsThe Cr/BW ratio has a negative relationship with incident NAFLD among nonobese Chinese without dyslipidemia before the age of 60.
