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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a growing health problem, and rapid diet assessment is required for personal nutrition education. This pilot study aimed to clarify associations between current food intake patterns identified from the short food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and metabolic parameters, including liver function. We conducted a cross-sectional study on Japanese non-alcoholic residents of Tokyo and surrounding districts, 20 to 49 years of age. Anthropometric measurements, fasting blood samples, three-day dietary records, and FFQ with 21 items were collected. In all 198 participants, the proportions with obesity were 21% in men and 6% in women. Hypertriglyceridemia was significant only in men, affecting 26%. The traditional Japanese (TJ) pattern (greater intakes of green and yellow vegetables, other vegetables, seaweed/mushrooms/konjac, dairy, fruits, fish, salty, and soybeans/soy products) and the Westernized pattern (greater intakes of saturated-fat-rich foods, oily, egg/fish-eggs/liver, and sweets) were identified. The TJ pattern score showed an inverse relationship with body mass index, triglyceride, alkaline-phosphatase, leucine-aminopeptidase, and fatty liver index. The TJ pattern identified from the short FFQ was suggested to be associated with body fat storage. Further large-scale studies are needed to clarify the associations between this dietary pattern and metabolic parameters, including liver function.
