Mediterranean diet for patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational and clinical investigations.
Review in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimMediterranean diet (MD) is a healthful dietary pattern with benefits for prevention of metabolic diseases including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In the current meta-analysis, we assessed the association between MD and liver steatosis and cardiometabolic risk factors in patients with NAFLD.
methodsPubMed, Scopus, and Embase were searched to find observational and clinical studies on the issue. No restriction on date and language was made. Outcomes included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides (TG), cholesterol fractions, glucose, insulin, insulin resistance, and liver transaminases.
resultsSeven observational reports and 6 trials met our inclusion criteria and entered in the meta-analysis. In observational studies, there was an inverse association between MD and NAFLD (effect size (ES) = 0.95; 95% CI: 0.90, 1.00;
conclusionOverall, available data from observational and clinical studies indicated a trend for the relationship between MD and hepatic steatosis. Improvement in the most important risk factors of NAFLD, i.e. BMI, serum triglycerides, and insulin resistance, may be involved in such relationship.
