Androgen dysfunction in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Role of sex hormone binding globulin.
Review 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 32 papers, 2 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
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of chronic liver disease in the world. It is linked mainly to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome including obesity and dyslipidemia. In addition, various endocrine dysfunctions including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hypogonadism are involved in the development and progression of NAFLD. We need to know the disease pathophysiology more accurately due to the heterogeneity of clinical presentation of fatty liver disease. The liver is the major metabolic organ with sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphism is associated not only with behavioral differences between men and women, but also with physiological differences reflected in liver metabolism. In men, normal androgen levels prevent hepatic fat accumulation, whereas androgen deficiency induce hepatic steatosis. In women, higher androgens can increase the risk of NAFLD in PCOS. Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is involved in androgen regulation. Recently, SHBG may be reported as a surrogate marker for NAFLD. Therefore, this review will focus on the mechanism of androgen dysfunction in the regulation of hepatic metabolism, the risk of developing NAFLD, and the potential role of SHBG in the course of NAFLD.; Keywords: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, sexual dimorphism, androgen, sex hormone binding globulin.
