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) has an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases in the population with diabetes and it is highly prevalent in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. This case series describes NAFLD associated factors and survival in type 2 diabetes patients (T2DM) who have ESRD treated with hemodialysis. NAFLD prevalence in patients with T2DM and ESRD is 69.2%. A high number of patients (15 out of 18) have obesity evaluated by calculating body mass index (BMI) and bioimpedance measurements. Patients with NAFLD have higher cardiovascular mortality risk, 13 of 18 patients were already diagnosed with coronary heart disease, 6 of 18 had cerebrovascular disease, and 6 of 18 had peripheral artery disease. Fourteen patients were treated with insulin, two patients with sitagliptin (renal adjusted dose of 25mg/day) and two patients with medical nutrition therapy, with an HbA1c ranging from 4.4 to 9.0%. After one-year follow-up 7 of 18 patients died, the causes having roughly equal proportions: myocardial infarction, SARS-CoV2 infection, and pulmonary edema. In conclusion, our population of type 2 diabetic patients with ESRD in hemodialysis had a prevalence of ultrasound-diagnosed NAFLD of 69.2%. Also, this population had a high death rate at one-year follow-up, cardiovascular causes being among the most common.
