Association of Lipid and Body Mass Index Profile With Chronic Hepatitis C Infection Stratified by Age and Gender.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background In this study, we aimed to determine the association of lipid and body mass index (BMI) profiles among cases having chronic hepatitis C virus (CHCV) infection. Methodology This cross-sectional study was conducted in the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital. A total of 320 cases of both genders, aged 18 to 60 years, with CHCV infection were enrolled in the study. After obtaining relevant history and conducting a physical examination, the venous blood sample of each patient was taken and sent to the institutional laboratory to analyze serum total cholesterol, serum triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein levels. BMI of all the study participants was also noted. Results Of the total 320 cases, there were 152 (47.5%) males and 168 (52.5%) females. The overall mean age was 42.92 ± 11.38 years. Most cases [97 (30.3%)] were in the 41 to 50-year age group. Overall, the mean BMI was 27.75 ± 4.59 kg/m
