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

Background: Liver is well recognised as a metabolically active organ. While intra-pancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) is emerging as an important player in the whole-body metabolism, the interplay between the liver and IPFD has been poorly investigated. This study aimed to investigate the associations of liver blood tests and non-invasive tests for hepatic fibrosis with IPFD. Methods: Participants underwent a 3.0 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging to measure IPFD and map liver T1 (longitudinal relaxation time). Four liver tests were done on the same sample of blood. Hepatic fibrosis risk score (BARD) was calculated. Linear regression models were built, accounting for age, sex, visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio, and other covariates. Results: A total of 143 individuals were studied. In the most adjusted model, alkaline phosphatase ( Conclusions: Elevated alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, and γ-glutamyl transferase are associated with increased IPFD. Hepatic fibrosis does not appear to be associated with IPFD.
