Red Blood Cell Dysfunction in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Marker and Mediator of Molecular Mechanisms.
Article in Maedica, 2020. 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
Despite efforts to unravel the pathogenetic mechanisms of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), there is still a need for approved treatments and biomarkers. Interestingly, red blood cells present alterations in their characteristics during NAFLD. The phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylethanolamine ratio, fatty acid profile, red blood cell count and red cell distribution width reflect molecular changes that are taking place in the liver. In addition, glycosylated hemoglobin, chemokine binding and release, and phosphatidylserine exposure actively participate in NAFLD pathogenesis. In this review, we describe the neglected red blood cell dysfunction in NAFLD, with the aim to unveil potent biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
