Sex differences in the association between fatty liver and type 2 diabetes incidence in non-obese Japanese: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of diabetes investigation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
AIMS/
introductionAsians develop type 2 diabetes at a lower body mass index (BMI) compared with other races, which is partly because of Asian-specific fat depots. Sex plays a role in fat deposition, regardless of race. This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association among fatty liver, sex and type 2 diabetes in non-obese Japanese. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe participants in this study (13,596 men and 6,037 women) were aged 30-64 years, and had undergone health checkups between 2013 and 2015, in Aichi, Japan. Baseline BMI was categorized as follows: <18.5, 18.5-19.9, 20-22.9, 23-24.9, 25-27.4 and ≥27.5 kg/m
resultsDuring follow up, 738 men and 138 women developed type 2 diabetes. Compared with the BMI of 20-22.9 kg/m
conclusionsThese results suggest the association between fatty liver and type 2 diabetes in non-obese Asians is different by sex; fatty liver increases diabetes risk among male, not female, non-obese Asians.
