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

backgroundSlight to moderate hepatic iron overload (HIO) can be found in cases of liver disease, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but the mechanism is not completely understood, as well as its relationship with obesity.

objectiveTo determine the prevalence of HIO assessed through histopathological examination in obese individuals undergoing bariatric surgery and to identify correlations between this condition and demographic, anthropometric, clinical, laboratory, and NAFLD-related aspects.

methodsThis is a cross-sectional study which enrolled individuals undergoing bariatric surgery from January 2018 to February 2019 at a tertiary university hospital. NAFLD and HIO were assessed through histological examination.

resultsOf 125 individuals, 87.2% were female and the average age was 38.8 ± 9.2 years. The average BMI was 37.2 ± 3.1 kg/m

conclusionIn obese individuals, HIO presented a high prevalence and was associated with higher levels of ferritin, serum iron, glucose, and transaminases; lower levels of total cholesterol; and male gender.
