Pancreatic Steatosis Is Associated with Both Metabolic Syndrome and Pancreatic Stiffness Detected by Ultrasound Elastography.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
introductionThere is increasing evidence that pancreatic steatosis (PS) is associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). However, it is not known whether it is associated with PS grade and pancreatic stiffness, or not. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between PS and its grade detected by transabdominal ultrasound, and pancreatic stiffness determined by two-dimensional shearwave elastography (2D-SWE), whether it has clinical significance and its relationship with MS.
methodsPatients with and without PS were evaluated prospectively.
resultsPatients with PS had higher odds ratio for MS (OR 5.49). Also, ultrasonographic grade of PS was associated with MS parameters and hepatosteatosis. Pancreatic SWE value was significantly higher in PS group and positively correlated with PS grade, liver fat, MS, number of MS criteria. DISCUSSION/
conclusionPS and its grade were associated with MS. In this first comprehensive PS-SWE study, we found that pancreas stiffness increased in the presence of PS, in correlation with PS grade and MS.
