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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is frequent in patients with features of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), obesity, or type 2 diabetes. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the main driver of triglyceride (TG) hydrolysis in chylomicrons and very-low density lipoproteins (VLDL). In some patients with MetS, dysfunction of this pathway can lead to plasma TG values > 10 mmol/L (multifactorial chylomicronemia or MCS). Chylomicronemia also characterizes LPL deficiency (LPLD), a rare autosomal recessive disease called familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS), which is associated with an increased risk of recurrent pancreatitis. This study aims to investigate the expression of NAFLD, as assessed by transient elastography, in MCS and FCS subjects. Data were obtained from 38 subjects with chylomicronemia; 19 genetically confirmed FCS and 19 sex- and age-matched MCS. All participants underwent liver ultrasonography and stiffness measurement after a 4-h fast using transient elastography (FibroScan
