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

Background: Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has become the most common liver disease globally, yet no new drugs have been approved for clinical treatment. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between dietary intake of soy-derived daidzein and MAFLD, to find potentially effective treatments. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from 1,476 participants in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2017 to 2018 and their associated daidzein intake from the flavonoid database in the USDA Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS). We investigated the relationship between MAFLD status, controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), AST/Platelet Ratio Index (APRI), Fibrosis-4 Index (FIB-4), liver stiffness measurement (LSM), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) fibrosis score (NFS), hepatic steatosis index (HSI), fatty liver index (FLI), and daidzein intake by adjusting for confounding variables using binary logistic regression models and linear regression models. Results: In the multivariable-adjusted model II, there was a negative association between daidzein intake and the incidence of MAFLD (OR for Q4 versus Q1 was 0.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.46-0.91, Conclusion: We found that MAFLD prevalence, CAP, HSI, and FLI, all decreased with increased daidzein intake, suggesting that daidzein intake may improve hepatic steatosis. Therefore, dietary patterns of soy food or supplement consumption may be a valuable strategy to reduce the disease burden and the prevalence of MAFLD.
