Sex-specific relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and amyloid-β in cognitively unimpaired individuals.
Article in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is known to be associated with a high risk of clinically diagnosed Alzheimer's disease (AD). Additionally, the prevalence of NAFLD and AD is higher in elderly females than in males. However, a sex-specific association between NAFLD and amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposition remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the sex-specific relationship between NAFLD and Aβ deposition in a large-sized cohort of cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals. Methods: We enrolled 673 (410 [60.9%] females and 263 [39.1%] males) CU individuals aged ≥45 years who underwent Aβ positron emission tomography (PET). The presence of NAFLD, assessed using the hepatic steatosis index, and the severity of NAFLD, assessed using the Fibrosis-4 index, were considered predictors. Aβ deposition on PET was considered as an outcome. Results: Females had a higher frequency of NAFLD than males (48 and 23.2%, Conclusion: We highlight the marked influence of NAFLD and its severity on the risk of Aβ deposition in relation to sex. Furthermore, our findings suggest that sex-specific strategies regarding the management of NAFLD are necessary for the prevention of Aβ deposition.
