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

backgroundNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are both associated with obesity. However, the relationship of NAFLD with reflux esophagitis (RE) is still unclear in non-obese individuals.

methodsIndividuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 28 kg/m

resultsIn non-obese individuals, the prevalence of RE and NAFLD increased with increasing WC and BMI (

conclusionsThe prevalence of NAFLD was significantly higher in patients with RE compared to those without RE. These results indicate that NAFLD has a potential as an independent risk factor for RE, even in non-obese individuals.
