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

purposeTo evaluate the effects of serum thyroid hormone levels on advanced liver fibrosis in cases with NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) and T2DM (type 2 diabetes mellitus). PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 1422 cases with T2DM who were admitted to Peking University International Hospital between December 2014 and October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Standard anthropometry as well as clinical and laboratory evaluation were performed on all patients. Abdominal ultrasonography was performed to diagnose NAFLD. NFS (NAFLD fibrosis score) was used to identify advanced fibrosis in patients with T2DM and NAFLD.

resultsIn cases with T2DM and NAFLD, the serum FT3 level in cases with advanced fibrosis was lower than that in those without advanced fibrosis (4.79±0.89 vs 4.28±1.19,

conclusionIn cases with T2DM and NAFLD, the incidence of advanced fibrosis is negatively correlated with serum FT3 levels, and a low FT3 level is an independent risk factor of advanced fibrosis.
