Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver in Children and Adolescents in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objectives This study aims to describe the disease parameters of children and adolescents diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Saudi Arabia. It also investigates the disease's progression and compares clinical, biochemical, and radiological parameters at baseline and follow-up of patients with NAFLD. This study was done between two groups of patients: obese and those of average body weight. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted between 2014 and 2018 through retrieved data from medical records. It included all children aged between six to 18 years diagnosed with NAFLD. Medical history was taken from each medical record, liver function test results, cholesterol, blood pressure readings, and body weight. Data have been restored from King Abdullah Specialist Children's Hospital (KASCH), Security Forces Hospital (SFH), and King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH)
