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

We evaluated the feasibility of using serum creatinine-to-cystatin C ratio in the assessments of muscle mass and strength in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In a community-based cross-sectional study, skeletal muscle mass and handgrip strength were assessed in 641 Japanese adults. Low skeletal muscle mass index and low handgrip strength were defined as indicated in the sarcopenia diagnostic criteria of the Japan Society of Hepatology. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease was defined as fatty liver on ultrasonography in the absence of other causes of steatosis. The creatinine-to-cystatin C ratio was useful for identifying the participants with low skeletal muscle mass index, with an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of 0.84 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.77-0.91] in men and 0.72 in women (95% CI, 0.65-0.78), and those with low handgrip strength, with an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of 0.96 (95% CI, 0.93-0.99) in men and 0.79 (95% CI, 0.66-0.92) in women. Moreover, the creatinine-to-cystatin C ratio correlated with skeletal muscle mass index (
