Reproducibility of ultrasound-guided attenuation parameter (UGAP) to the noninvasive evaluation of hepatic steatosis.

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
The aim of this study was to identify the applicability of an ultrasound-guided attenuation parameter (UGAP) for the noninvasive assessment of hepatic steatosis in clinical practice and to compare its correlation with B-mode ultrasound (US). From May to July 2021, 63 subjects with different body mass index (BMI) grades were included in the prospective study. All of them performed UGAP measurements, under different breathing manipulations, positions, diet statuses, and operators. After that, the UGAP values were compared with the visual grades of hepatic steatosis on B-mode US using a 4-point scale method. The intraclass correlation (ICC) of the UGAP values between the two radiologists was 0.862 (p < 0.001), and the ICCs of the UGAP values on the same day and different days by radiologist A were 0.899 (p < 0.001) and 0.910 (p < 0.001), respectively. There were no significant differences in UGAP values under different breathing manipulations (p > 0.05), positions (p > 0.05), or diet statuses (p = 0.300). The UGAP values in the fasting (supine position, segment V, 1) condition among the lean (BMI < 24 kg/m
