Association between processed and unprocessed red meat consumption and risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of global health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: The nature of the relationship between red meat consumption and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains unclear. Through this meta-analysis, we aimed to determine the association and dose-response relationship between red meat consumption (both processed and unprocessed) and the risk of NAFLD. Methods: We systematically searched CENTRAL, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus from inception to February 2022 for observational studies in which the exposure of interest was red meat consumption; the outcome of interest was the risk of NAFLD; and where odds ratios (ORs) or risk ratios were provided or could be calculated. We used random-effects meta-analyses to pool the effect sizes and performed analyses to estimate the linearity of the dose-response relationships between red meat intake and NAFLD risk. Results: We included 10 studies in this review. The meta-analysis showed a significant association between the intake of red meat (OR = 1.27; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07-1.50, P = 0.000, I Conclusions: Our findings indicate a potential positive association between red meat consumption (both processed and unprocessed) and NAFLD risk, especially in relation to increased intake of processed red meat compared to unprocessed red meat. However, caution is advised in interpreting these results; further research could establish a clearer understanding of the relationship between red meat consumption and NAFLD risk.
