Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease later diagnosed as myotonic dystrophy.
Article in World journal of hepatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundMyotonic dystrophy (MD) is sometimes accompanied by metabolic/endocrine disorders, including dyslipidemia, central obesity, and hypogonadism. Due to considerable individual differences in the severity and progression of myopathy, MD patients with minimal-to-mild muscle symptoms might be followed as having other diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). CASE SUMMARY: A 40-year-old non-obese man without a history of regular ethanol consumption was referred to our hospital due to persistent liver dysfunction and hyperlipidemia. His body mass index was 23.4 kg/m
conclusionWhen gastroenterologists encounter NAFLD/NASH patients, serum CK should be verified. If hyperCKemia, frontal baldness, a hatched face, history of cataract surgery, and grip myotonia are noted, the possibility of MD may be considered.
