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

contextIn 2020, the terminology of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) was proposed to replace nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

objectivesThis work aimed to investigate the prevalence and incidence of MAFLD and evaluate its effects on incident extrahepatic diseases.

methodsA total of 6873 individuals, with a 4.6-year follow-up, were included in this study. Associations of MAFLD and NAFLD with diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) were examined using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models.

resultsThe prevalence of NAFLD and MAFLD was 40.3% (95% CI, 39.2%-41.5%) and 46.7% (95% CI, 45.6%-47.9%), respectively. Additionally, 321 (4.7%) and 156 (2.3%) participants had MAFLD with excessive alcohol consumption and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. During the follow-up period, the incidence of NAFLD and MAFLD was 22.7% (95% CI, 21.3%-24.0%) and 27.0% (95% CI, 25.5%-28.4%). MAFLD was associated with higher risks of incident diabetes (risk ratio [RR] 2.08; 95% CI, 1.72-2.52), CKD (RR 1.64; 95% CI, 1.39-1.94), and CVD (hazard ratio 1.44; 95% CI, 1.15-1.81). Similar associations for NAFLD were observed. Furthermore, the MAFLD subgroups with excessive alcohol consumption (RR 2.49; 95% CI, 1.64-3.78) and HBV infection (RR 1.98; 95% CI, 1.11-3.52) were associated with higher risks of incident diabetes.

conclusionThe change from NAFLD to MAFLD did not greatly affect the associations with diabetes, CKD, and CVD. MAFLD further identified those patients of metabolically fatty liver combined with excessive alcohol consumption and HBV infection, who had increased risks of incident diabetes compared with those of non-fatty liver.
