Association of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease With Left Ventricular Diastolic Function and Cardiac Morphology.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 4 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.
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 and Aim: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely related to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). A newly proposed definition is metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), which was changed from NAFLD. The clinical effect of this change on abnormalities of cardiac structure and function is yet unknown. We aimed to examine whether MAFLD is associated with left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and cardiac remolding and further identify the impact of different subgroups and severity of MAFLD. Method: We evaluated 228 participants without known CVDs. Participants were categorized by the presence of MAFLD and the normal group. Then, patients with MAFLD were subclassified into three subgroups: MAFLD patients with diabetes (diabetes subgroup), overweight/obesity patients (overweight/obesity subgroup), and lean/normal-weight patients who had two metabolic risk abnormalities (lean metabolic dysfunction subgroup). Furthermore, the severity of hepatic steatosis was assessed by transient elastography (FibroScan Results: LVDD was significantly more prevalent in the MAFLD group (24.6% vs. 60.8%, Conclusion: MAFLD was associated with LVDD and cardiac remolding, especially in patients with diabetes, overweight patients, and moderate-to-to severe steatosis patients. This study provides theoretical support for the precise prevention of cardiovascular dysfunction in patients with MAFLD.
