Disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease patients is associated with increased liver fat content and liver fibrosis during follow-up.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05987748 (The Clock Thickens), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
purposeLiver steatosis is a frequently reported condition in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Different factors, both metabolic and IBD-associated, are believed to contribute to the pathogenesis. The aim of our study was to calculate the prevalence of liver steatosis and fibrosis in IBD patients and to evaluate which factors influence changes in steatosis and fibrosis during follow-up.
methodsFrom June 2017 to February 2018, demographic and biochemical data was collected at baseline and after 6-12 months. Measured by transient elastography (FibroScan), liver steatosis was defined as Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) ≥248 and fibrosis as liver stiffness value (Emed) ≥7.3 kPa. IBD disease activity was defined as C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥10 mg/l and/or fecal calprotectin (FCP) ≥150 μg/g. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis was performed; a p-value of ≤0.05 was considered significant.
resultsEighty-two out of 112 patients were seen for follow-up; 56% were male. The mean age was 43 ± 16.0 years, and mean BMI was 25.1 ± 4.7 kg/m
conclusionsThis study confirms the relatively high prevalence of liver steatosis and fibrosis in IBD patients. We demonstrate that active IBD at baseline is associated with both an increase in liver steatosis and fibrosis during follow-up.
