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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to identify characteristics of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adults with HFE p.C282Y/p.C282Y.

methodsWe retrospectively studied non-Hispanic white hemochromatosis probands with iron overload (serum ferritin (SF) > 300 µg/L (M), > 200 µg/L (F)) and p.C282Y/p.C282Y at non-screening diagnosis who did not report alcohol consumption > 14 g/d, have cirrhosis or other non-NAFLD liver disorders, use steatogenic medication, or have diagnoses of heritable disorders that increase NAFLD risk. We identified NAFLD-associated characteristics using univariate and multivariable analyses.

resultsThere were 66 probands (31 men, 35 women), mean age 49 ± 14 (SD) y, of whom 16 (24.2%) had NAFLD. The following characteristics were higher in probands with NAFLD: median SF (1118 µg/L (range 259, 2663) vs. 567 µg/L (247, 2385); p = 0.0192); prevalence of elevated ALT/AST (alanine/aspartate aminotransferase) (43.8% vs. 10.0%; p = 0.0056); and prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (31.3% vs. 10.0%; p = 0.0427). Mean age, sex, and prevalences of human leukocyte antigen-A*03 positivity, body mass index ≥ 30.0 kg/m

conclusionsNAFLD in hemochromatosis probands with p.C282Y/p.C282Y is associated with higher median SF and greater T2DM prevalence, after adjustment for other factors. NAFLD does not influence QFe significantly.
