The association of healthy lifestyle score and risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Article in BMC public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
backgroundThe combined role of important environmental factors as a single lifestyle index in predicting non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) risk is not fully assessed. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association of healthy lifestyle factor score (HLS) with the odds of NAFLD in Iranian adults.
methodsThis case-control study was conducted on 675 participants, aged ≥ 20-60 years, including 225 new NAFLD cases and 450 controls. We measured dietary intake information using a validated food frequency questionnaire and determined diet quality based on the alternate healthy eating index-2010(AHEI-2010). The score of HLS was calculated based on four lifestyle factors, including a healthy diet, normal body weight, non-smoking, and high physical activity. An ultrasound scan of the liver was used to detect NAFLD in participants of the case group. Logistic regression models were used to determine the odds ratios(ORs) and 95% confidence interval(CI) of NAFLD across tertiles of HLS and AHEI.
resultsMean ± SD age of the participants were 38.13 ± 8.85 years. The Mean ± SD HLS in the case and control groups was 1.55 ± 0.67 and 2.53 ± 0.87, respectively. Also, the Mean ± SD AHEI in the case and control groups was 48.8 ± 7.7 and 54.1 ± 8.1, respectively. Based on the age and sex-adjusted model, the odds of NAFLD were decreased across tertiles of AHEI (OR:0.18;95%CI:0.16-0.29,P
conclusionsOur findings reported that higher adherence to lifestyle with a higher score of HLS was associated with decreased odds of NAFLD. Also, a diet with a high AHEI score can reduce the risk of NAFLD in the adult population.
