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 was performed to explore the relationship between coronary heart disease (CHD) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients without hypertension and diabetes with a focus on predicting CHD.In total, 78 consecutive patients without hypertension and diabetes who were suspected of CHD underwent coronary angiography (CAG) or computed tomography CAG. They were segregated into the CHD and non-CHD group according to the CAG or computed tomography angiography results. The Gensini score was calculated based on CAG results in the CHD group. All patients underwent ultrasonographic measurement of the liver, subcutaneous fat, and visceral fat thickness.The CHD and the Gensini score were significantly correlated with V1, V2, and NAFLD. As the grade of NAFLD increases, the Gensini score was increased. After correcting for confounding factors, NAFLD (B = 2.474, P < .001, 95% confidence interval: 3.32-42.406) and cholesterol (B = 1.176, P = 0.025, 95% confidence interval: 1.155-9.101) were predictor for CHD.The CHD is associated with NAFLD in the patients without hypertension and diabetes. The high-grade NAFLD may be predicted the risk of CHD in patients without hypertension and diabetes.
